Hampshire Trust Bank has appointed Cain Lam as a business development manager in its specialist mortgages team.

Lam (pictured) will support brokers across London, working with intermediary partners on complex buy-to-let and specialist property investment cases.

He succeeds Joseph Lethbridge, who has moved into a London key accounts role in the specialist mortgages team. Lethbridge will report to Andrea Glasgow, sales director for specialist mortgages and bridging finance.

Lam joined Hampshire Trust Bank in 2024 as a loan administrator. He subsequently worked as a loans officer, loyalty lending manager and senior loyalty lending manager before moving into the broker-facing position.

Danny Kiely, head of sales for specialist mortgages and bridging finance at Hampshire Trust Bank, said: “Cain’s appointment reflects the strength of talent we’ve built within our business and our commitment to developing colleagues who understand what matters most to brokers.

“He brings extensive specialist lending expertise, alongside a strong understanding of what brokers need when they’re placing more complex cases. Combined with his relationship-led approach, that makes him a natural fit to support our intermediary partners across London.

“Joseph has done an excellent job supporting brokers across London, and I’m looking forward to seeing both him and Cain build on that success in their new roles.”

Lam said: “I’m delighted to be taking on the role of business development manager and working more closely with brokers across London.

“Working across a range of lending roles has given me a strong understanding of specialist lending and the challenges brokers are helping their clients navigate. I’m looking forward to building on that experience by supporting brokers with the complex cases they’re placing.

“I’m excited to work alongside brokers across London, helping them find solutions for their clients and building the long-term relationships that are such an important part of how we work at HTB.”
