Alternative Bridging Corporation has expanded its sales operation with the appointment of a new internal business development manager (BDM).

Sam Bailey joins the specialist short-term property finance lender from Reim Capital and will cover the Midlands and North of England.

Bailey has over five years’ experience in the financial services sector, starting out as a commercial real estate apprentice at Pepper Group (UK). During his time at Pepper he also held the roles of commercial loan servicing administrator and commercial loan servicing specialist.

In 2018 he joined Relendex as a loan officer, with responsibility for the daily management of all bridging and development loans post completion.

Most recently he was at Reim Capital where he was lending analyst. During his time at the short-term lender he also gained vital case management and underwriting experience.

At Alternative Bridging, Bailey will cover the Midlands and North of England areas and will report to Paul Gavin, business development manager.

Bailey said: “I am very much looking forward to joining the Alternative Bridging team. I have developed a wide variety of skills during my career so far and I look forward to growing them further as I help advisers in the Midlands and the North with their bridging, commercial and development finance cases.”

Gavin added: “I’d like to welcome Sam to the business development team at Alternative Bridging. His strong interpersonal skills, coupled with his previous experience dealing with intermediaries and their cases, should see him succeed in playing his part in expanding our business volumes in the Midlands and North.”
