Aspen Bridging has appointed Stephen Hickman as senior risk assessor and Kyle Taylor as recoveries manager.

Hickman (pictured, right) will be responsible for reviewing all applications as part of the firm’s risk function as well as assessing works cases from application stage and throughout the term of the loan until completion.

Taylor (pictured, left) will manage the recoveries function, to ensure that Aspen’s processes are up-to-date, works for customers and brings results.

Both join from One Saving Bank where they both worked for over 10 years, most recently holding the titles of bridging senior specialist underwriter and senior bridging recoveries manager respectively.

Jack Coombs, managing director at Aspen Bridging, said: “The appointments, promotions and changes we’ve made this year will have a significant positive impact on our growth trajectory.

“Stephen and Kyle bring a huge wealth of experience in their respective specialities and I’m sure they will both play a big part in our story going forwards at this critical time in our company’s growth journey.”
