Gary Playle joins Signature as a new business development manager, where he will use his previous experience to support brokers in London and the South.

Before joining Fincorp, Gary served as the regional relationship manager at Santander for London and the South East.

At Signature, Gary will be working closely with new sales manager Steve Sanderson to help get the bridging lender’s message across to the vibrant market in London and the South.

“He’s a proactive individual who has impressed with his positive attitude and drive for success, so I’m confident he will bring in the business we need to meet our demanding growth targets,” commented Tony Gilbertson, CEO of Signature.

“In the past, Gary has been responsible for raising the profile of bridging finance with accountants, intermediaries, brokers and customers, which is very much the same role expected of him here at Signature, as we continue to build our reputation in the short-term property finance sector.”

Gary described the move as an exciting one and he felt pleased to be part of what he believes to be a bright future at Signature.

“The business is ambitious, with a realistic growth strategy based on great products and a personal service delivered by seasoned professionals.

“I believe 2017 will be a good year, with a strengthening UK economy delivering great opportunities in the property market and Signature in a position to support brokers as they help their clients achieve positive outcomes to property deals.

“With more traditional sources of finance remaining difficult to access for many property developers and investors, I see no let-up in Signature’s growth surge built on an understanding of every aspect of property development, not just figures on a balance sheet.”
