Marie Grundy joins West One as sales director

Marie Grundy has joined West One as sales director from V Loans, where she was managing director of second charge lending.

Grundy worked at the master broker for nine years, while before that she was head of sales for second charge lender SPPL after working for Yorkshire Building Society and Accord Mortgages.

Stephen Wasserman, managing director of West One, said: “We’re delighted to have Marie on board, bringing not only her extensive knowledge of the industry, but also deep relationships with brokers and master brokers.

“As a board member of the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries for over three years, Marie is a well-recognised and respected figure in the specialist lending industry, and we’re sure she will significantly enhance our business development team, as a continuation of a process we began in 2016.”

V Loans pulled out of the second charge market in November.

Grundy was elected by the Association of Finance Brokers onto the board of the AMI in 2013.

Danny Waters, chief executive of West One’s parent company, Enra Group, added: “As our group looks to expand its lending proposition beyond the market-leading position we have in bridging finance, it’s vital we build our sales capability accordingly.

“Marie’s appointment is a major step in that direction, and I look forward to her helping us drive our business forward.”
