Paragon Bank has bolstered its buy-to-let mortgage sales team with the appointment of Roger Churaman as regional sales manager.

Churaman (pictured) will be responsible for managing London and Home Counties.

He joins Paragon from Aldermore, where he was a relationship manager. Prior to that, he spent over a decade working at Lloyds Banking Group, where he managed a portfolio of property investors and developers with a lending book of £30 million.

Churaman said: “I am delighted to be joining Paragon Bank as regional sales manager. During my time in the mortgage industry, Paragon has always maintained the reputation as being the ‘go-to’ lender for portfolio landlords.

“Competitive products underpinned by service and common-sense underwriting means that I am confident that I can offer my brokers the best service for them and their clients.”

Jason Wilde, Paragon’s national sales manager, added: “I’m really pleased that Roger has joined Paragon, he is a very welcomed addition to an already experienced team of regional managers. He joins from a well-respected lender within the complex market, so his experience within this field will be a real asset to both Paragon and our intermediary partners.“
