Manchester born and bred, Gorman (pictured) will be tasked with looking after key accounts, as well as building relationships with brokers new to HTB.
He joins from Mint Property Finance, where he spent three and a half years as a BDM, managing a large network of intermediary partners, and having held a similar role at Together where he was responsible for building relationships with advisers.
Lorenzo Satchell, sales director of bridging finance at Hampshire Trust Bank, said: “It’s great to have someone of Anthony’s experience that truly understands the bridging market and has the ability to grow strong broker relationships.
“We’re looking to deliver truly local lending to the North and with the appointment of Anthony we’re showcasing our commitment to the region. I’m looking forward to seeing Anthony become a big success.”
Gorman added: “I’m excited to be joining Lorenzo, Jamie and the wider bridging team at HTB. The experience within the team is immense and their drive to support brokers is really inspiring.
“My experience in the specialist lending sector, particularly in the bridging and refurbishment space, will allow me to bring real value to our intermediary partners operating in the short-term lending arena.
“The market is very much back and firing on all cylinders. I know my expertise in structuring cases and ensuring their success will help to push HTB further to the forefront of the bridging market.”
