Specialist bridging lender Black & White Bridging has appointed Matt Horton to the role of marketing & communications manager.

Horton (pictured) has spent his whole career in marketing and joins Black & White Bridging after six years at marketplace lender Assetz, where he was senior marketing executive.

The news follows the recent recruitment of Adam Tyler to lead intermediary relationships and distribution.

Damien Druce, commercial director at Black & White Bridging, said: “I worked closely with Matt when I was at Assetz and am delighted that he is joining us. He knows what works in promoting a short term lending brand and products so I’m sure he will bring that same marketing magic here.

“We worked well together and I have no doubt we can replicate that partnership in his new role.”

Horton added: “I am really looking forward to the challenge at Black & White. With the experience built up over the past six years of helping to build my previous company, I am well equipped to help B&W establish itself as a lender in the years to come.”
