Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has announced the appointment of Chloe House as business development manager (BDM) for the newly established south coast region.

House (pictured) was previously a finance specialist at SPF Private Clients, where she honed her skills in mortgage advice and structuring complex deals.

Alex Upton, managing director of specialist mortgages at HTB, said: “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Chloe to our team. Her experience and knack for understanding the nuances of complex cases are exactly what we need as we continue evolving our proposition to meet the real-world needs of brokers and their clients.

“At HTB, it’s never about a one-size-fits-all solution; it’s about being adaptable and finding the right fit for each unique scenario. Chloe’s addition reinforces our commitment to staying agile and responsive, especially in a market that’s moving so fast.”

House added: “I’m thrilled to join HTB and get started with supporting brokers across the South Coast. My background as a mortgage adviser has given me valuable insight into the importance of the BDM role and how strong relationships with brokers can help get deals over the line.

“HTB’s reputation for finding solutions, even when there are complex elements to a case, really attracted me to the role. I’m excited to be a part of this team and bring our common-sense, can-do approach to more brokers and borrowers.”
