Mint Property Finance has welcomed Wayne Lee back to the business as business development manager (BDM).

He re-joins the specialist finance lender from Hope Capital. He first worked with Mint in 2015, overseeing the business’s client relationships for almost two years.

In his new role as BDM he will be responsible for managing and developing relationships with brokers and borrowers, as well as extending routes to market.

Paul Wertheim, Mint Property Finance director, said: “We couldn’t be happier to welcome Wayne back to our Mint family. From the moment we started to restructure our sales and marketing team in Q4 last year, we were clear we wanted Wayne to be a part of our plans and future.

“His industry knowledge is exceptional and his experience of working with direct borrowers, as well as finance brokers, will be a real asset to the business as we move forward with our ambitious plans for expansion.

“Not only is Wayne extremely well respected in the industry, he is also a great guy to work with and I am confident that our clients, partners and existing colleagues will enjoy working with him.

“He played a strong and valuable role in the early stages of the company’s development and we know he’s going to do the same again.”

Lee added: “In my 30 plus years in the industry I’ve had the opportunity to work in a number of leading companies. The progressive, professional and people-focussed culture of Mint Property Finance is however unrivalled.

“I’ve always remained close with Paul, Andrew and the team, and was really pleased to get the call inviting me back. Recent months have seen a significant and rapid transformation of the business, leading to impressive record growth.

“I am delighted to re-join Mint at such a pivotal time in the business’s ambitious plans, and to contribute to its continued success.”
