Shawbrook Commercial Property has announced three senior promotions.

Gavin Seaholme (pictured) has been appointed as head of sales. He has overall responsibility for managing the field sales team on a daily basis.

He said: “I am looking forward to using my experience and ideas to help the wider sales team deliver on providing a high level of support for all our broker partners and exploring ways in which we can continue to add value to our strong offering.”

David Morris becomes director of risk management. He said: “This role presents an opportunity to create growth by balancing our attitude towards risk and our need to be entrepreneurial to serve our broker partners.”

Finally, Ade Akande has been recruited as head of MI and analytics.

He said: “Shawbrook always looks for areas to improve, and using data intelligently helps us challenge the way we currently do things. This often leads to positive change across our product proposition, improvements to our systems, or can simply provide reassurance that we are doing things the right way. I plan to continue with developing a deeper understanding of our customers, our valued broker partners and ourselves to inform everything we do, helping us build and grow together.”

Emma Cox, sales director for commercial property at Shawbrook Bank added: “David, Gavin and Ade all display outstanding leadership skills and we are very fortunate to have such a strong senior team at Shawbrook. These promotions signal Shawbrook’s continued commitment to being one of the best commercial lenders in the market.”
