The announcement comes less than a week after the lender announced a major rebrand, changing its name to Amicus from Mayfair Bridging.

Mark said it was not an easy decision to leave Just Bridging and wished John Davies and the team all the best for the future.

“The opportunity to join the 2015 Bridging Lender of the Year in this new role comes at an important time in their growth strategy and I am looking forward to contributing to the expansion plans they are preparing for 2016,” said Mark.

“I value the importance Amicus places on stakeholder engagement and look forward to supporting the growing number of brokers who are benefitting from this approach.”

Yasin Patel, Divisional Director at Amicus, added that Mark has 18 years’ experience in the intermediary distribution market with the likes of HBOS, Bank of Scotland and Merrill Lynch, and believes he will be able to drive the lender’s ambitious growth plans.

“Relationships are at the core of the Amicus proposition and Mark has those natural interpersonal skills that are essential in relationship management,” said Yasin.

“This is another appointment in an ongoing strategy to recruit the quality people that are required to capitalise on the expansion potential of the short-term funding market.”
