Octane Capital has promoted three of its senior team.

Liam Lawlor has been promoted from senior business development manager (BDM) to sales director, overseeing some of Octane’s newest BDMs, including Bethan Jones.

He will continue to report into Mark Posniak, Octane’s managing director.

Meanwhile, Graham Macaulay has been promoted to the position of head of short-term lending, with three of the credit managers reporting into him. He will continue to develop them while providing credit intelligence and support to the rest of the team. He reports into Matt Smith, director of credit and risk.

In addition, Donna-Louise House has been promoted to become head of buy-to-let credit. She is heading up Octane’s new buy-to-let team, which will be emerging from soft launch in the coming months. She also reports into Smith.

Jonathan Samuels (pictured), CEO of Octane Capital, said: “We’re always keen to promote talent and commitment from within and Liam, Graham and Donna, who have worked tirelessly to grow Octane in recent years, deserve to have their hard work rewarded. Each is a huge asset to the company and we are confident they will continue to go from strength to strength in their new roles.

“Things have picked up sharply since the property market emerged from lockdown and all three will be vital to ensuring we continue to grow our market share at a time when, more than ever, experience counts.”
