The Right Mortgage appoints specialist lending development manager

The Right Mortgage & Protection Network has appointed Drew Wilson as its new specialist lending development manager.

In his role, Drew will work with TRM member firms, providing support to advisers with clients whose circumstances require solutions outside mainstream mortgage lending. 

Drew has more than five years’ experience covering mortgage and protection roles and gained his CeMAP qualification in 2023. Drew returns to TRM having previously spent four years with the network as national account manager between October 2020 and October 2024. In that role, he worked with member firms across recruitment, onboarding, compliance, product diversification and business development.

Most recently, Drew worked as ancillary sales executive at Crystal Specialist Finance, where his role included supporting clients throughout the case journey and identifying alternative finance solutions.

Victoria Clark, head of lending at The Right Mortgage & Protection Network, said: “Drew brings valuable experience of the specialist lending market to this role and a strong understanding of the support advisers need when dealing with cases which sit outside standard lending criteria.

“Having previously spent four years with TRM, Drew also knows our network, our team, our member firms and the importance we place on providing advisers with practical support. His more recent experience within specialist finance adds to that knowledge and we are very pleased to welcome him back to us.”

Drew Wilson commented: “It’s lovely to return to my roots with all my mentors and family. Having spent the past few years working directly in specialist lending, I am honoured to be given this opportunity to help our network and its advisers in the specialist lending space at a time when advisers’ clients are increasingly far from ‘vanilla’.

“My goal in this role is to make sure advisers have everything they need to succeed in the specialist lending space, providing the support they need when working with clients whose circumstances require an approach different to the mainstream.”
