Redwood Bank has appointed Josh Parker as its regional development manager to cover the South West and South Wales regions. Parker has more than 10 years of experience in specialist property finance, having held senior business development positions at a number of lenders, including Hodge Bank and Fleet Mortgages. He also has a diploma for Financial Advisers and a diploma in Mortgage Advice and Practice, and is a Certified Practitioner in Specialist Property Finance (CPSP). His role will be key in expanding our support for brokers and clients in regions where we see growing demand for specialist property finance and where debt service coverage is under pressure. “It’s an exciting time for us, with recent lending updates allowing us to offer more tailored solutions to portfolio landlords and commercial property borrowers alike.”Last month, Redwood Bank updated its criteria across its commercial investment and commercial owner-occupier ranges.
