Smart Money recruits underwriter

Smart Money has appointed Hannah Joyce as an underwriter in its regulated second charge team.

The master broker achieved record levels of new business in October and November, while it plans to develop relationships with more networks and provide further support to directly authorised firms in 2016.

Joyce developed her underwriting skills at Weaver Finance and LoanOptions before joining V Loans as an underwriter in 2009.

Paul Crewe, managing director of Smart Money, said: “Our plans for 2016 are already in place and it is vital to ensure that the calibre of the support we give our introducers is second to none.

“Therefore I am particularly delighted to welcome Hannah to the Smart Money family. Her experience of the second charge market will be invaluable to us and further emphasise our commitment to providing the best service to our intermediary partners.”

Joyce added: “Smart Money is a well-established and ambitious player in the market and I am looking forward to helping introducers and their clients benefit from the best the second charge market can offer both in terms of finding the right solution and delivering the service in a timely and professional manner.”
