Calli Hanrahan has joined Bridging Finance Solutions (BFS) as an underwriter.

With over 20 year experience in the financial sector, Hanrahan (pictured) has previously worked with the Co-op bank with a career spanning personal banking, business banking, small business loans and large corporate lending and underwriting.

Prior to joining BFS, she worked as operational manager for a large mortgage and insurance broker.

Hanrahan said: “I have worked in various areas of the financial sector and lending is definitely where my passion lies. I already have experience in bridging and found this form of lending incredibly interesting. This new role at BFS offers an exciting new challenge and I look forward to being part of a dynamic and driven company that is undoubtedly making waves in the sector.”

Rachel Davies, head of underwriting, added: “Calli brings a strong, existing understanding of bridging to her new role. Initially she will focus on straight forward residential bridging but is keen to look at more complex development deals moving forward, which is an area where we are seeing considerable growth.

“Calli has a vast knowledge of the wider financial industry and has a passion for lending and the complexities that involves. We believe she will be a huge asset to the business and we look forward to her working with the team.”
