Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has appointed Mathura Paramjorthy as head of portfolio management within its specialist mortgages and bridging division.
She will report to Alex Upton, managing director of specialist mortgages and bridging finance.
Paramjorthy. (pictured) joins from Bridge Invest, where she was chief operating officer, having previously held the same role at TAB. She began her career as a partner at Philip Ross Solicitors, specialising in residential property, before moving into senior operational roles.
With more than 20 years’ experience across law, lending and operations, she has developed a strong track record in managing complex loan portfolios.
Her appointment comes as brokers are increasingly handling larger and more intricate transactions. HTB’s portfolio management team oversees loans after completion, ensuring facilities continue to perform as structured and providing brokers and clients with continuity throughout the term.
Paramjorthy said: “Joining HTB was an easy decision for me because of the way the bank works with brokers. My career has taken me from property law into operational leadership, and that mix has shown me how important it is to combine strong processes with clear communication.
“Brokers want to know that once a deal completes their clients will be supported throughout the term, and that is what portfolio management delivers.
“I am looking forward to working with the team to build on HTB’s reputation for consistency and long-term support.”
Upton added: “Portfolio management is where we make sure the structures agreed on day one continue to work for clients through to repayment. It is a part of the process brokers may not always see immediately, but it underpins every facility.
“As the size and complexity of cases grow, that oversight becomes even more important. Mathura’s background as a property lawyer, together with her operational and lending experience, brings exactly the perspective we need across both our specialist mortgages and bridging books. I am very pleased to welcome her to HTB.”
