Chris Finnigan has rejoined Redwood Bank’s business development team following a short period away from the organisation.

He previously spent more than eight years at Redwood during its formative growth phase, and Redwood agrees his return signals confidence in how its specialist lending proposition has developed, with practical changes shaped directly by broker feedback.

Finnigan (pictured) said: “Seeing Redwood’s progress from the outside made it clear that the changes weren’t cosmetic.

“The proposition has evolved in ways that genuinely support brokers, with greater flexibility, clearer decisions and confidence in dealing with complex cases.

“Combined with the ambition for 2026, that made returning an easy decision.”

Recent enhancements include more competitive specialist lending across residential buy-to-let, HMOs, semi-commercial and commercial mortgages.

The bank has also introduced a streamlined Decision in Principle process for residential buy-to-let investment cases, providing brokers with greater clarity and certainty earlier in the transaction.

In his role, Finnigan will focus on supporting brokers across the North West, helping them unlock more opportunities for clients by combining Redwood’s enhanced product range with hands-on, end-to-end support from enquiry through to completion.

Gary Wilkinson, Redwood’s CEO, added: “We’ve been very deliberate in listening to brokers and turning their feedback into real action and change. The strength of our proposition today reflects that focused approach.

“Chris’s return brings very extensive experience and expertise to the business and is a powerful endorsement of the direction we’re taking and the momentum we’re building.”
