Gavin Seaholme has been promoted to the position of regional development manager for the South Central area of England within Shawbrook Bank’s commercial mortgages division.

Seaholme (pictured), who was promoted to the position of business development manager in February this year, has been working closely with Shawbrook’s broker partners across the region to build stronger partnerships and develop new business.

His new role will encompass a larger area and enable him to adopt a more hands-on approach to the sales activity throughout the region. He will also be taking a more active approach with managing and developing Shawbrook’s strategic partner accounts.

Seaholme said: “I am delighted with the new role and look forward to stepping up to the plate and delivering for our broker partners and their customers.

“I’m also grateful to the entire team at Shawbrook – both internal and external – for their support, as we look to grow this market and continue to improve the offering for all our business partners.”

“Gavin’s promotion is testament to just how much can be achieved in a short period of time here at Shawbrook,” added Karen Bennett, sales and marketing director for commercial mortgages at Shawbrook Bank.

“He has shown continued dedication and commitment to his role as a business development manager and has contributed to an already busy region for our commercial mortgages team.

“We know that rewarding great performance benefits both our internal team members and our external broker partners, and I am confident Gavin’s new role as regional development manager will further strengthen our presence across the South Central area.”
