Butterfield Mortgages has strengthened its London team with two new appointments as the prime property lender continues to expand.
Kiefer Rendall has joined as client relationship officer, bringing experience from HSBC where he began in 2017. He initially worked as a temporary agent in the small business banking team before becoming a business banking risk analyst. In that role, he handled financial crime risk, application processing and due diligence.
At Butterfield Mortgages, he will support the front office with client administration and onboarding.
Ruby Bastick has been appointed as front of house intern under the firm’s apprenticeship scheme with Simply Academy.
She will work towards her Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice (CeMAP) qualification while supporting both clients and colleagues.
Alpa Bhakta, chief executive of Butterfield Mortgages, said: “I’m really pleased to welcome Kiefer and Ruby to the Butterfield Mortgages team. Kiefer has a strong background in financial services, and I’m confident that his experience will be valuable in helping us continue to deliver the first-class service that we are known for.
“I’m also delighted to have Ruby on board as she works towards her CeMAP qualification as part of Butterfield’s apprenticeship scheme with Simply Academy.
“We’re passionate about creating environments that help people develop a career in financial services, and we look forward to seeing her grow in the coming months.”
Rendall said: “Butterfield Mortgages has a reputation for delivering an exceptional client experience, and I’m looking forward to using my experience in risk analysis and client onboarding to build on this reputation in the future.”
Bastick added: “This is a fantastic opportunity for me to gain hands-on experience in financial services, while also working towards my CeMAP qualification. I’m excited to learn from the team and ensure that our clients receive an excellent service.”
