YBS Commercial Mortgages has appointed Gary Pratt as a relationship director in its Wales and the South West team.

Gary has widespread knowledge and understanding of commercial finance, particularly in the South West, having worked in the industry for over 20 years. He also has key experience in supporting businesses to expand their commercial property footprint, and assisting property investors to build their portfolios, having previously worked as a corporate and relationship manager at a high street bank.

Gary will be based at the YBS Commercial Mortgages office in Bristol, and will be covering the South West region, including Devon and Cornwall.

He will be working closely with other South West team members including senior relationship director Sue Lewis, and fellow relationship directors Kayleigh Parry, Lucy Partridge and Tim Wraith.

Gary said: “I am delighted to join YBS Commercial Mortgages and hope to assist in the growth aspirations of the organisation, particularly in the South West but also all over the UK. I am passionate about supporting existing and new brokers, who are the lifeblood of our business.”

Allan Griffiths, regional director for the Wales and the South West team, added: “We’re committed to supporting the commercial market, especially during these times of volatility in the market. Absolutely key to this is providing dedicated support to our brokers - wherever they are - through our regional teams, who sit at the heart of our business.”
