Masthaven Ban has announced the promotion of Roz Cawood to head of sales for short-term lending.

She will be joining Neil Molyneux, also head of sales for short term lending, and will be responsible for leading and developing Masthaven’s network of brokers and helping to drive education around bridging finance.

Before joining Masthaven, Cawood (pictured) worked with Legal & General and has been supporting Masthaven’s business development team for five years.

Rob Barnard, director of intermediaries at Masthaven, said: “Bridging finance has become more mainstream in recent years and brokers are writing more bridging business. But as lenders, we still have an education job on our hands to help the industry understand where bridging fits. This means talking to the broker community to help them meet the needs of bridging customers.

“Roz has been helping us on this mission and her recent promotion reflects the work she has put in to help grow the bridging market, building on our partnerships with our brokers to help more customers benefit from bridging.”
