Richard has been working at Masthaven for just under two years, overseeing many changes at one of the most well-known lenders in the sector, having been established since 1983. As well as boosting the lender’s profile and establishing relationships with a number of large networks and packagers, Richard says, in his own modest words, that he’s been “consistently exceeding brilliance”.

His new role will combine the business development of his previous position with being in charge of all sales and marketing at Masthaven.

Andrew Bloom, Managing Director at Masthaven, commented: “Richard thoroughly deserves this promotion. He has successfully built an excellent reputation as an experienced, knowledgeable bridging finance practitioner who always puts his introducers and clients first.”

Richard said that he was “naturally delighted” at the promotion, adding: “I firmly believe that Masthaven’s proposition is one of the best in the industry. I like to think that with my 100% passion and commitment, I can continue to forge excellent relationships with some of the leading businesses and institutions in the market.

“It has been a tough two years, but Masthaven has remained committed to lend throughout, which I think the introducer finds very encouraging.”
