Tuscan Capital recruits new sales director

Specialist bridging lender Tuscan Capital has appointed Jaxon Stevens (pictured) as sales director, as part of its revamped sales structure.

Stevens has over 25 years of experience working in financial services, covering a variety of consultancy and management roles. He has worked for finance providers, including GE Money and NatWest, with a proven track record in building and maintaining high-level business to business relationships.

At Tuscan Capital, Stevens will lead the sales team covering the whole country, including its regional offices in Manchester and Birmingham, as well as London and the Home Counties regions. He will be reporting to Tuscan chief executive Colin Sanders.

The lender said the creation of its new sales structure has been done in order to broaden its distribution and provide further support and resource to its brokers and intermediary partners to place deals in an increasingly complex marketplace.

Tuscan Capital provides non-regulated bridging finance to the residential, commercial, semi-commercial, HMO and mixed-use real estate sectors in England and Wales. The new structure, it said, meant it remained well placed to grow its loan book in the months ahead.

“We have been working on our revamped sales structure for some time, and therefore, it is very pleasing to be able to launch and announce the appointment of Jaxon as our new sales director,” Sanders said. 

“Jaxon is an individual who is well known and highly respected in our marketplace with a vast network of property finance professionals and a track record of managing high-performing national sales teams for over a decade. He also has a strong, in-depth understanding of various financial solutions, especially in the short-term lending space, having dealt with bridging, development, and refurbishment on both residential and commercial assets in recent years.”

Commenting on his appointment, Stevens said he was looking forward to taking the Tuscan proposition out to as wide a range of market relationships as possible.

“I’ve looked at Tuscan’s journey so far and where it is with its funding, proposition, and the capable team that has been assembled, and have jumped at the chance to join them and to lead the charge,” he added. “I can’t wait to get to work.”
