Tuscan Capital has announced that Mason Ward has joined the lender as a regional sales manager for south London and the south of England.

Ward (pictured) has a background in SME finance and construction and has over five years’ experience in business development. He joins Tuscan Capital from LakeShield Capital where he was a business development manager. Prior to that, he was relationship manager at Black & White Bridging.

He joins the sales team at Tuscan Capital and will be responsible for being an ambassador for Tuscan’s offering and developing close relationships with introducers in London and the South.

Ward reports into Colin Sanders, Tuscan Capital’s CEO.

Sanders said: “We felt that Mason’s enthusiasm and energy would make him an ideal fit for the team here at Tuscan. Until now we hadn’t found anyone to specifically focus on looking after intermediaries in the south of England, so with Mason being based in Surrey and covering south London to the south coast, from Kent to Dorset, we feel he has plenty of opportunities to successfully spread the word and develop the Tuscan brand.”

Ward added: “I’m very pleased to be started at Tuscan Capital. I chose to join them as I believe their products prove that they are a forward thinking, creative lender; it’s now my job to shout it from the rooftops.”
