Hampshire Trust Bank introduces new business development manager

Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has appointed Annie Crust (pictured) as business development manager (BDM) for the Midlands within its specialist mortgages division.

In her new role, Crust will be responsible for broker relationship management, understanding each broker’s business and client demographic, and acting as support for both with their business enquiries. Crust will also be working with potential new introducers to understand how HTB can help them as well as how to create new opportunities for both the bank and the broker. She will report to Andrea Glasgow, sales director for specialist mortgages.

Crust has over two decades of experience in the financial services industry and has spent most of her career in the specialist mortgage market, working for both brokers and lenders.

“I am absolutely thrilled to join HTB, with their hard-earned reputation for excellence and deliverability within the specialist buy-to-let marketplace,” said Crust. “Having admired HTB’s proposition from afar for some time, I could not pass up the opportunity to be part of such a fantastic team within an award-winning bank, whose appetite for product development and growth is unrivalled.”

“I’m proud to be able to attract experienced industry figures such as Annie to HTB, and she will bolster our strong business development team even further. Having worked as a broker for much of her career, Annie knows how valuable an effective, and attentive, business development manager can be, as well as the importance of fostering strong and collaborative partnerships,” said Glasgow.

“HTB is constantly improving both its product proposition and team, highlighting our mission to provide the best possible offering to both first-time landlords and professional investors.”
