Specialist lender Masthaven Finance has made two strategic additions to its business development team, appointing Tony Grillo as senior business development manager and Gary Melville as internal business development manager.
The hires are part of Masthaven’s wider plan to strengthen intermediary support and enhance its reach in the specialist lending sector.
Tony Grillo joins from Together, bringing over 20 years of experience in relationship management and specialist lending. In his new role, he will focus on expanding Masthaven’s market footprint by forging new broker relationships and deepening existing partnerships.
Gary Melville joins from West One Loans to take up the newly created role of internal business development manager. With a strong background in broker support and intermediary engagement, he will be tasked with improving broker access to specialist finance solutions and ensuring high service standards for both intermediaries and their clients.
Both appointments will work closely with current senior business development manager Ginny Warby, adding depth to Masthaven’s regional coverage and intermediary support.
Commenting on the expansion, Jim Baker, sales director – bridging & development at Masthaven Finance, said: “It’s been a really exciting year for Masthaven so far, and it’s fantastic to see momentum building across the business.
“I’m especially proud of how our sales team is evolving as Tony and Gary bring a huge amount of experience and insight to their new roles, and I’m genuinely pleased to see them progressing their careers with us.
“With a strong team in place, we’re well positioned to deliver on our future plans and continue growing in the months ahead.”
