Monument has bolstered its bridging team with the recruitment of Fatlum Lushi.

Lushi joins the challenger bank and specialist buy-to-let lender as a bridging relationship manager.

He joins from PCF Bank where he successfully assisted with the creation of and built the lender’s bridging proposition, delivering a lending book portfolio of more than £100m in the process.

He has previously held roles at Santander, has experience in savings, and is CeMAP qualified.

At Monument, Fatlum will lead the team in providing solutions for any bridging related queries.

Conor McDermott, head of lending at Monument, said: “I would like to welcome Fatlum to the growing team at Monument. As a specialist buy-to-let lender, we understand the important role that bridging plays in helping investors to achieve their goals, often helping them to maximise their returns.

“Fatlum has great experience in this area and will prove a valuable addition in helping us deliver the best solutions for landlords.”

Lushi added: “I’m really pleased to join the team at Monument during this exciting time for the challenger bank. In a short period since launching, Monument has already established a strong reputation in lending to landlords and property investors, and I’m looking forward to helping to further develop its bridging proposition.”
