Paragon Bank has added to its buy-to-let mortgage sales team with the appointment of Samuel Debenham as regional manager.

Debenham (pictured) will be responsible for managing the East of England territory, a role made vacant following the promotion of Jason Wilde to the position of national sales manager.

Prior to joining Paragon, Debenham was employed as a sales manager at Commercial Trust and specialised in complex buy-to-let mortgages, such as HMOs and limited company mortgages.

Debenham said: “Having worked with Paragon in my previous role, I was always impressed by its flexible approach and desire to help brokers make mutually beneficial deals.

“It’s encouraging to see Paragon play an important part in supporting the wider economy by continuing to serve the specialist lending market and I’m really looking forward to getting out there and meeting everyone once the government says it’s safe to do so.”
