Roma Finance expands team following new £100m funding line

Published on

Roma Finance has expanded its team with six new appointments following a period of growth, product innovation and the establishment of a £100 million funding line with NatWest.

The Manchester-based specialist lender has strengthened its operational, surveying and origination capacity in response to increased demand across the intermediary market. The new hires – across case management, packaging, surveying and business development – come after a record-breaking first quarter and the launch of several new products aimed at property professionals.

Joining the lender in recent weeks are Isabel Robbins, Eleanor Kenworthy and Fay Cripps as case managers, Declan Henry as case packager, Ethan Hagel as internal monitoring surveyor, and Jonathan Clarke-Quirk as business development executive.

The expanded team is intended to bolster Roma’s service delivery and support its growing broker and customer base, as the lender scales operations to meet accelerating demand for property finance.

Roma’s recent product changes includes the launch of its Revolving Credit Facility, designed to offer flexible drawdown and repayment options for experienced property professionals. The lender has also enhanced its FLOW and GROW product ranges, offering lower bridging rates and higher loan-to-value thresholds for development finance.

Scott Marshall (pictured), founder and managing director of Roma Finance, said: “We’ve had a phenomenal start to 2025, delivering a record first quarter and launching some of the most exciting product innovations in our history to date. The expansion of our team is a direct response to the increasing demand we’re seeing from brokers and customers, and we’re delighted to welcome this latest group of talented professionals into the business.

“Their expertise and energy will help us continue to scale while maintaining the high service levels and personal approach that Roma is known for. This combined with our capacity and flexibility for funding, as well as significant investment in technology and innovation, continues to strengthen our growth and strong foundations for the future.”
