ASTL names new executive board members

The Association of Short Term Lenders (ASTL) has announced the appointment of two new members to its executive board – Gavin Seaholme of Shawbrook Bank and Alan Margolis of Greymax.

The new executive board appointments were elected by members of the ASTL from a record number of candidates and votes.

The new members of the ASTL board took up their responsibilities starting this month, replacing Scott Marshall of Roma Finance and Steve Barber of Bridging Finance Solutions, who both retired from their executive duties for the association, having served their maximum terms.

Aside from the election of the new board members, ASTL also announced the re-election of Ray Cohen from Jackson Cohen as an associate member of the board.

“I would like, on behalf of the executive board and the ASTL, to say a heartfelt thanks for the magnificent contribution that Scott and Steve have made, not the least of which being their immense support of the educational programme CPSP,” stated Vic Jannels (pictured), chief executive at the Association of Short Term Lenders.

“I would also like to congratulate Gavin and Alan on their election to the board, and Ray for his re-election. We have achieved a lot with the association in the last year, but there is plenty still to do in promoting the interests of the short-term mortgage market and our customers.

“I know that Gavin and Alan will be valuable additions to the board and will play an important role in helping us to continue to raise the profile and the reputation of the sector.”
