Anna Lewis becomes Castle Trust Bank commercial director

Published on

Castle Trust Bank has promoted Anna Lewis to the role of commercial director.

Lewis (pictured), who has 18 years’ experience in intermediary mortgages, joined Castle Trust Bank as director of proposition & strategy in February of this year, having previously held roles at Hampshire Trust Bank, Purely Mortgages and Interbay Commercial.

In her new role, she will continue to lead the bank’s commercial strategy, building on its specialist buy-to-let mortgage lending, dedicated bridging proposition that was launched earlier this year. She will also take on responsibility for leading the team of regional account and business development managers.

Barry Searle, managing director of property at Castle Trust Bank, said: “I’m delighted to promote Anna to the role of commercial director. In a relatively short time at Castle Trust Bank, she has already made a big contribution in developing our proposition to meet the evolving needs of property investors.

“I have no doubt that she will build on this momentum as she takes on this new role and continues to put Castle Trust Bank at the forefront of consideration for any broker who has property investor clients.”

Lewis added: “Castle Trust Bank is an incredibly dynamic lender, able to innovate and develop its offering to meet the changing needs of property investors. Change is one characteristic that is certain to define the market in the coming months and I’m looking forward to steering our strategy and leading our team in this new role.”
