Paul Ormonde has joined specialist buy-to-let lender Quantum Mortgages as key account manager.

Ormonde has over 20 years of specialist intermediary lending experience and is well versed in helping advisers place complex buy-to-let applications.

His most recent role was with Foundation Home Loans where he was a regional account manager in the South East from 2018. Prior to joining Foundation, he was instrumental in developing the buy-to-let business for State Bank of India UK.

Previous sales roles include stints at Knight Frank, AKM Mortgages and Mortgage Times.

Spencer Gale, sales director at Quantum Mortgages, said: “Securing such talented individuals as Paul, who has a proven record of consistently being the top performer within his previous lenders is a major coup for Quantum Mortgages.

“We have always maintained we wanted the best people working with our intermediary partnerships, so we are delighted Paul has joined our high-quality team.”

Ormonde added: “The Quantum Mortgages proposition genuinely excites me because for so long I have seen good quality lending propositions declined for no apparent reason.

“The favourite part of my job is helping my intermediary contacts place specialist cases so I cannot wait to bring more common-sense lending criteria to these relationships and help turn even more enquiries into successful completions.”
