Castle Trust Bank has added to its sales team with the recruitment of Ashley Duhaney as business development manager for London and the South East.

Duhaney (pictured) has 10 years’ experience in financial services, including roles in underwriting as well as business development. Most recently, he worked as a senior business development manager at One Savings Bank, where he was also an underwriter for the Interbay Commercial brand.

He will work with brokers in London and the South East, helping them to help their buy-to-let clients access the finance they need to explore new opportunities and maximise their returns.

Rob Oliver, sales director at Castle Trust Bank, said: “We are delighted that Ashley has joined Castle Trust Bank to help us grow our business by working with brokers in London and the South East.

“With a background in underwriting, Ashley knows exactly what it takes to make a deal work and his experience will prove invaluable in helping brokers in the region to source and structure the finance that their clients need to make the most of the ongoing opportunities in specialist buy-to-let.”

Duhaney added: “In London and the South East, brokers need to work with a lender that can provide a combination of flexibility and certainty. Castle Trust Bank has an excellent reputation for doing just this – delivering innovative solutions to help property investors achieve their objectives.

“I’m looking forward to helping further build this reputation – working closely with brokers on structuring loans, delivering terms and raising awareness of Castle Trust Bank’s excellent proposition.”
