Black & White Bridging has appointed Greg Applewhaite as its relationship manager for the North of England.

Applewhaite, based in Manchester, has spent the last five years working within specialist finance in a series of business development roles at Together, SoMo, and most recently ASG. His appointment will provide brokers with specialist assistance in structuring complex deals and improve conversion rates whilst strengthening new and existing relationships.

He said: “My focus is on creating and building new relationships, adding to the fantastic foundations the Black & White Bridging team has built with introducers across the country.

“I join a dynamic team and a forward-thinking company. We have just refreshed pricing for our bridging business so we are even more competitive. Black & White has a fantastic reputation with brokers for excellent service and quick turnaround times. The company ethos of ‘no grey areas’ perfectly aligns with my approach to completing business – I can’t wait to get started and meet as many brokers as possible to help drive the success and the reputation of the company.”

Danny Power, director of business development at Black & White Bridging, added: “Greg’s experience, his relationship management skills, as well as his ability to help brokers craft deals so they get over the line in record time, means he will be an asset both to the team and the brokers that he has contact with. I know he will add value to all those he works with and I look forward to watching him flourish as we continue our expansion. Watch this space.”
