TFC Homeloans has opened a central London office and appointed Gary Barton as its first consultant for specialist lending.
Barton has responsibility for both business development and account management of TFC’s London-based brokers, working closely with them on complex specialist finance cases and developing new business opportunities.
He has been an intermediary in London for a number of years, following a career with NatWest across its London branches.
Nigel Payne, managing director of TFC, said: “We needed somebody with a wealth of mortgage knowledge, who not only understands the pressures of being a broker but also has an intricate understanding of the London market. Gary Barton ticks every box with the right skills and experience combined with the positive attitude that we look for at TFC.
“The opening of our London office in Marylebone is further evidence of our continued commitment to brokers in the capital and recognition of the unique forces driving the London market. We understand it requires a different approach and we work closely with our broker partners there to add value and help with the most complex cases.”
Barton added: “I’m excited to be part of a team that’s committed to adding value to its London-based intermediary partners. The innovation and enthusiasm of the senior managers at TFC is infectious and I look forward to helping more advisers in the capital to boost their business and take advantage of new opportunities.”
