Pepper Money has expanded its sales team with the recruitment of Purav Abbi as regional development mnager (RDM) for Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire.

Abbi has more than 16 years of experience in financial services, having previously held senior branch positions at Barclays and Metro Bank, advisory positions at Countrywide and Sequence, and most recently joins from a BDM position at HSBC.

As regional development mMnager for Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire, Abbi will support intermediaries in the region with those cases that fall outside the mould of the high street, whether that be due to adverse credit, credit score, or a complicated income structure.

Ryan Brailsford, director of business development at Pepper Money, said: “In the current environment, it’s more important than ever for brokers to work closely with BDMs to understand which lenders are best placed to meet the needs of their customers. M”“ore and more customers are falling outside of the strict criteria of mainstream lenders due to their income structure, affordability or credit profile, but there are excellent options with specialist lenders like Pepper Money. \“We’re delighted that Purav has joined our team. He’s an experienced mortgage professional with a demonstrated history of working in banking and the real estate industry. I am confident Purav will be a valuable asset for brokers in Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire, providing comprehensive support which will allow them to help more customers.”

Purav Abbi, Regional Development Manager for Surrey, Sussex & Hampshire at Pepper Money, says: “I’m really happy to be joining Pepper Money at a time when there are so many customers who could benefit from its no nonsense approach to clear criteria, individual underwriting and market leading service. I am looking forward to helping more brokers and their customers realise the benefits of working with Pepper Money.”
