Shawbrook expands residential sales team

Shawbrook Bank has expanded its residential mortgage sales team by appointing Sue Wheatstone and Bethany Watson as business development executives.

Wheatstone has spent more than a decade in the City, having worked as a private bank manager for NatWest Private Banking before moving to Coutts for two years.

Watson has experience in an IFA environment as a mortgage adviser and placement specialist.

Maeve Ward, managing director of Shawbrook residential mortgages, said: “On behalf of the entire residential mortgages team, we’re very pleased to welcome aboard our two new starters.

“They are already having a positive impact on the efficiencies of the sales team which is encouraging to see.

“We are investing into the future whilst simultaneously expanding the resource available to our brokers’ clients with immediate effect. Both Sue and Bethany were standout candidates who have adapted well to the demands of their new roles.

“I am confident that, as business development executives, Sue and Bethany will deliver the level of personal, pragmatic service to our intermediary partners which Shawbrook is renowned for.”

Wheatstone said “I’m looking forward to building relationships with my brokers and making a positive impact on both them and the sales team”, while Watson said “it has been extremely insightful to work from "the other side" as it were, and I am looking forward to getting to know our brokers’ businesses more”.
