LendInvest Mortgages has appointed Abbie McCluskey as business development manager for Scotland, as the specialist lender looks to expand its broker relationships and lending activity north of the border.
McCluskey (pictured) joins with almost a decade of experience in the UK lending sector, having held roles at Lloyds Banking Group and The Mortgage Lender (TML). She also holds a Certificate in Professional Specialist Property (CPSP). She replaces Rod McPherson, who was promoted to head of distribution earlier this year.
In her new role, McCluskey will focus on deepening partnerships with mortgage brokers across Scotland, supporting them in accessing the lender’s technology-driven mortgage solutions and ensuring a smooth lending process for their clients.
“I’m incredibly excited to be leading LendInvest’s mission to make mortgages simple for everyone throughout Scotland,” she said.
“Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how dedication and clear communication drive results, and I’m eager to showcase my skills here.
“I look forward to working closely with our broker partners to simplify the lending process and ensure that every deal, from portfolio expansion to first-time property purchase, is completed efficiently and successfully across Scotland.
“LendInvest’s technology, along with access to expert support, is crucial for giving brokers the speed and certainty they need right now. I was eager to align myself with a company that doesn’t just talk about innovation, it delivers it.”
Paula Mercer, director of sales at LendInvest, said: “All of us at LendInvest are committed to giving our customers the best level of service combined with our technology. We continually invest in recruiting top talent to ensure our expertise is readily accessible to our intermediaries, so there is always someone on the other end of the phone to lend support, no matter how complex the deal may be.
“Abbie is a proven and confident professional with deep industry knowledge and the Scottish market, making her the ideal leader to expand our regional presence. We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Abbie and her energy and dedication to the team.”
