Shawbrook boosts secured lending team

They join at a time when the market is undergoing rapid growth, as second charge mortgages increase in popularity, being recognised as an alternative to a remortgage by both brokers and their clients.

Claire Rankin joins Shawbrook as Head of Networks, bringing a wealth of experience with her from the financial services sector.  Her focus will be to deepen and build upon Shawbrook’s relationships with key industry networks and their members.  Prior to Shawbrook, Claire was National Account Manager at Precise Mortgages where she focused her efforts on Networks, providing training and support to the member base.

Paula Purdy takes the role of Head of Sales, North and will be pivotal in expanding Shawbrook's broker proposition in the north of Britain, helping to further deepen their presence and grow their market share in this region.  Paula brings a wealth of experience from her previous role as Senior Relationship Manager within Shawbrook’s Commercial division, where she successfully developed and built a strongly performing region.

Maeve Ward, Sales Director, Secured Lending, Shawbrook Bank comments:

“Both Philip and I are delighted to welcome Claire and Paula to the secured team at such an exciting time in our development.  With very ambitious plans for the future, their experience and drive will be integral in helping us further shape our broker proposition and retain our market leading position in the industry.”
