Shawbrook Bank has announced two promotions within its commercial mortgages team.

Sarah Woolf, previously business development manager (BDM) for the North East and East Midlands, is now senior relationship manager for these regions, and Gavin Seaholme has been promoted to BDM for the South Central region of England.

In addition to supporting regional broker partners, Woolf will now be working closely with key accounts.

Seaholme cover Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Luton, Slough and the greater London areas of Watford, Harrow, Southall and Twickenham. He will be responsible for strengthening broker and introducer partnerships and growing regional business.

Karen Bennett, sales and marketing director of commercial mortgages at Shawbrook Bank, said: “At Shawbrook we know that rewarding great performance benefits both our internal team members and our external broker partners.

“Gavin’s promotion offers further support to a strong-performing area of business, whilst Sarah’s new role is an example of our flexibility as a business to be able to continually develop our team structures.”
