Hope Capital has appointed a new business development manager (BDM) as part of its expansion plans for 2016.

Sanjay Patel joins the bridging lender with more than 20 years’ experience in the financial services sector and will focus on the Midlands.

Hope, which has four BDMs across the UK, is now planning to increase its team further with particular focus on London and the South East.

Jonathan Sealey, chief executive officer of Hope Capital, said: “Sanjay’s understanding of the importance of service when it comes to short-term lending will help us to ensure our service standards to brokers and borrowers remain exceptionally high.

“We are continuing to expand throughout the UK and I am confident that Sanjay’s recent appointment will prove to be vital to the continued development of Hope Capital.

“We will be improving our proposition making it even more favourable to bridging borrowers and brokers in 2016 continuing to help even more people with the short-term finance they require.”

Sanjay started his career at a West Bromwich Building Society before becoming a residential and mortgage broker in 2005.

He worked as a broker for Swift Mortgages from 2008 to 2011 and, after spells as a new business manager and sales & account manager, joined Blue Horse Finance as a broker in 2013.

He said: “I look forward to utilising my experience and network of contacts to build valuable working relationships and making a real difference to company and the broker community.

“I will also strive to help Hope Capital to continue to raise its profile while also increasing its market presence.”

Sanjay’s appointment comes four months after Hope announced it would be expanding into Scotland.
