Omni Capital has appointed Anthony Murphy to the position of sales manager.

The specialist short-term lender says the hire “further expands its broker-facing sales capabilities and reach”.

Murphy reports to Martin Gilsenan, Omni Capital’s director of sales and joins existing sales managers Jim Nash and Matt Rogers.

He will be based in Omni Capital’s Watford operations centre.

Murphy is tasked with developing new intermediary relationships, managing deal-flow enquiries and progression, and providing an efficient liaison between the company’s sales and underwriting functions.

His previous companies include Cheltenham & Gloucester, Platform Home Loans, DB Mortgages, London Mortgage Company and brokerage Email Mortgages.

“With a business pedigree that speaks for itself, Anthony will be a superb asset and addition to our bustling and ever-ambitious sales team,” said Colin Sanders, chief executive officer of Omni Capital.

“With deep, well-rounded experience gained in both good and bad times, he understands that customer satisfaction is more than just a phrase. I’ve little doubt his brokers will soon add their own words of praise.”
