Envelop appoints Midlands-based BDM

Specialist distributor Envelop has further strengthened its sales support team with the appointment of Neil Nisbet as business development manager (BDM) for the Midlands.

Nisbet (pictured) has over 13 years of experience working within financial services, with his previous two roles seeing him involved in specialist property funding and commercial finance. He joins Envelop from Meriden Financial Planning Limited, where he spent two and a half years as a commercial finance specialist.

He began his career at Barclays Bank, where he held the position of relationship manager for seven years. After that, he was head of commercial finance at Prosperity Wealth Limited for almost four years.

At Envelop, Nisbet’s new role involves strengthening existing, and forging new, specialist lending relationships to further extend its business links across his designated region. He will also be tasked with building supplementary distribution channels, in addition to developing and supporting intermediary partners across the distributor’s lending panel.

Envelop recently appointed Matthew Clarke as head of sales and Ashley Bailey as a BDM for the North, with the firm embarking upon ambitious growth plans following its rebrand.

The rebrand from First 4 Bridging (F4B) to Envelop took place in September 2022 to reflect the growing level of enquiries involving complex residential transactions, buy-to-let, second charge, commercial term loans, and development finance.

Donna Wells, director at Envelop, commented: “Our rebrand and extensive presence across the specialist mortgage markets continues to help us attract some highly talented and ambitious individuals, and Neil is yet another integral component in the formation of a highly dynamic sales and support team.

“This is a team which will help us deliver even stronger levels of service to our growing band of introducers and in meeting the lofty business targets that we set ourselves moving into 2023.”

Commenting on his appointment, Nisbet said he was “extremely excited to be joining an established and forward-thinking business which has such a strong reputation across the industry.”

He added: “The opportunity was too good to miss. I will relish working alongside the directors, new head of sales Matthew Clarke, and various colleagues throughout the business to deliver a first-class service for our valued clients and introducers.”
