Mint Property Finance has introduced a new leadership team in order to promote business excellence.

Senior underwriters, Samantha Herd, who heads up the business’s development team, and Adam Robson, who heads up the bridging team, have been promoted to the newly created position of underwriting team leader.

They will oversee the company’s team of underwriters and processors providing valued strategic direction to colleagues. The role will also see both have a greater investment in Partner relationships.

Andrew Lazare (pictured), founder and managing director of Mint Property Finance, said: “The new department structure is designed to further encourage best practice and provide a real depth of underwriting, as is the Mint Property Finance way.

“What Sam and Adam have achieved over the last combined eight years with Mint Property Finance is highly commendable, they’re valued members of the team and I couldn’t be more pleased to recognise that with this promotion; it’s thoroughly deserved.

“As a business that prides itself on its people-first culture we strongly believe in investing in great talent, creating opportunities for personal growth alongside that of the business. With this new role we are proud to do just that, supporting the ongoing development of our expanding underwriting team whilst championing senior expertise; providing our partners with excellence as standard.”
