Bridging lender Hope Capital has recruited an additional underwriter.
This follows its appointment of a new business development manager two weeks ago.
Laura Carr spent 14 years in various capacities within RBS Group including the role of branch manager across various branches and managing a customer services team.
She joins Hope Capital to boost the effective and efficient running of its underwriting department, ensuring a speedy response for both borrowers and brokers with the rapidly increasing volumes that Hope Capital says it is experiencing.
Jonathan Sealey, chief executive officer of Hope Capital, said: “Laura has a history of working through meticulous lending requirements and building an effective relationship with all parties. She has experience of seamlessly managing all processes to do with both lending and customer services, setting excellent service standards.
“At a time when Hope Capital is on its way to doubling its lending volumes, her experience and know-how ensure that our service standards to both the brokers and borrowers remain amongst the best in the market.”
Carr added: “Hope Capital is one of the most exciting new lenders in the bridging market. I believe that my experience and enthusiasm will help to ensure that they can continue to expand in a way that is both sensible and measured while continuing to provide the excellent, hands on service that it is becoming renowned for. There is certainly a synergy in our goals in directions moving forward.”
