In addition, Prabhat Talwar, who joined the company in September 2018, has been promoted to senior underwriter.

Meanwhile, Jamaal Mckoy has joined as underwriter, having previously held underwriting positions at both Legal & General and Paragon Banking Group.

Saif Khalique also starts as an underwriter.

Jack Coombs, director at Aspen Bridging, said: “Throughout the crisis we continued take a proactive approach to lending, being one of the first to introduce desktop valuations and more recently to raise our LTVs and maximum loan amount.

“This placed us in a strong position both during lockdown and since the restrictions have been eased, our pipeline has seen a record number of substantiated enquiries.

“Harry and Prabhat’s knowledge and commitment are second-to-none, and Jamaal and Saif have already shown to be up for the challenge. With the new team we will continue to innovate and deliver excellent service for brokers and their customers.”
