Alan Lowman brings over 30 years of experience to his new position as senior underwriter, having previously served at De Lage Landen Leasing.  

Meanwhile, Nina Osborn joins HTB from Societe Generale and will take the position of underwriter.

Chris Welch, managing director of asset finance at Hampshire Trust Bank, said: “The success of the asset finance team is testament to the long-term relationships we have with our intermediaries.

“We understand the importance of providing brokers with swift lending decisions and are constantly looking for ways to improve our service to the intermediary sector.

“Alan and Nina are key additions to our growing team.”

Both appointments will be focused on further improving HTB’s broker service for asset finance.

Commenting on his appointment, Alan said: “The opportunity appealed to me as HTB is clearly a fast-growing, ambitious bank with a customer-driven focus and whose culture and aspirations are aligned with my own.”

Nina added: “I decided to join HTB as I was excited about joining a fairly new asset finance department, being able to add my experience to the business and help the business grow.

“I like the interaction I have with the brokers via phone and email.

“I think having access to an underwriter and a personal approach does differentiate us.”

The bank’s asset finance division has completed over 6,000 deals since its launch more than two years ago.
