Nigel Pascoe has been appointed as director of business development at Skipton International.

After working at the provider of ex-pat mortgages for 16 years, he has been tasked with widening Skipton International’s deposit introducer base and improving its appeal to high net worth savers.

Pascoe (pictured) will be responsible for a growing team of mortgage associates and business development managers, expanding Skipton International’s deposit base as well as addressing the expat and Guernsey mortgage markets.

Pascoe said: “At Skipton International we have a well-earned reputation for delivering excellent customer service. My team works hard at ensuring mortgage brokers across the UK and internationally receive a service that is second to none, leading to highly successful business relationships.

“My colleagues across the business provide the same customer service focus to our deposit customers and I am excited to be promoting these benefits across a wider range of deposit introducers and high net worth customers, so more savers will benefit.”

Jim Coupe, managing director of Skipton International, said: “At Skipton International we offer some of the leading interest rates for savers and are widely known for excellent customer service, which has been independently recognised through awards from Moneyfacts and Feefo.

“Nigel is already widely known and respected in the local and expat lending markets and I am pleased that we can now enable Nigel to provide his skills and experience to help more deposit introducers.”
