Tuscan Capital has announced the appointment of a new regional sales director for the Midlands.

Rebecca Salt joins Tuscan in the role and will be working with firms, advisers and brokers across the entire Midlands region.

Salt (pictured) has over a decade’s experience in the commercial finance sector, starting with Aldermore Bank, before joining Bibby Financial Services, where she worked in Chicago on international assignment for two years.

Returning to the UK in 2020, she joins Tuscan Capital from Stream Bank, where she was recently working its bridging market team.

Reporting to Tuscan’s sales director, Jaxon Stevens, Salt will be working out of Tuscan’s Birmingham office.

Stevens said: “The Midlands is a very important region for us as a lender, with a considerable amount of development taking place, and we have a growing number of business relationships in the area which require someone with vast experience and a very high skillset that can help us deliver for advisers and their clients.

“We are therefore very pleased to announce Rebecca’s appointment as she has those qualities, and more. She is already very well-known and well-versed in the Midlands, and I’m sure she will be of considerable benefit to all those she deals with, as Tuscan grows our sales team and our footprint right across the country.”

Salt added: I’m very pleased to be joining Tuscan as its new Midlands’ Regional Sales Director, where I’ll be highlighting not just our product proposition, but our fast-track process, to advisers and firms who have clients active in the area.

“There has been a considerable boost to both commercial and residential development in the Midlands recently, and this is set to continue into the future, so I’ll be working with firms to show how Tuscan’s strong range of short-term property finance can meet the needs of landlords and developers, and their ongoing projects.”
