Redwood Bank is strengthening its support for brokers across the South West and South Wales.

Josh Parker, who joined Redwood Bank in January, has been appointed as regional development manager for the South West and South Wales and will act as the primary point of contact for brokers in these regions, providing dedicated support for complex commercial lending.

He brings more than a decade of experience in specialist property finance, having progressed to senior business development positions across leading financial service providers, including Hodge Bank and Fleet Mortgages. 

He holds a Diploma for Financial Advisers and a Diploma in Mortgage Advice and Practice and is also a Certified Practitioner in Specialist Property Finance (CPSP). 

Josh commented: “I’m thrilled to join the team and I’m looking forward to the challenge of helping brokers meet the more complex investment needs of property landlords and commercial property borrowers, where service and flexibility matter more than rate. Redwood is a specialist bank and can handle the complex deals that I’m excited to support on.” 

Mark Dobson, head of business development, South and London, said: “Josh’s expertise makes him a fantastic addition to our team. His role will be key in expanding our support for brokers and clients in regions where we see growing demand for specialist property finance and where debt service coverage is under pressure.
