HTB appoints lending manager

Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has announced the appointment of Malone Roberts (pictured) as lending manager for the North West within its specialist mortgages lending division.

Roberts joins HTB after spending three years at Shawbrook Bank, where he was lending administrator before being promoted to business development executive in November 2020.

In his new role, he will be on hand to support the bank’s brokers in the North and Midlands, structuring and packaging new applications.

Andrea Glasgow, Head of New Business, Hampshire Trust Bank, said she is thrilled with the appointment, noting that Roberts will make a great addition to the team.

“We are seeing incredible growth year-on-year, and this appointment further supports our commitment to offering first-class service,” Glasgow said. “We have seen great traction since Wes Baker came onboard as a BDM and started to service our brokers in this region and adding a dedicated lending manager for the region is another step in supporting our brokers.”

Roberts, commenting on his appointment, said he is excited to have joined HTB at “what is the start of its next phase of growth.”

“HTB has a fantastic proposition which is continuously evolving and improving,” he added. “I see HTB as a lender I can grow with; what I have seen from the bank over the years is that they remain strong and consistent regardless of the volatility in the market. It is a business I can be proud to work for.”
