Sophie Mitchell-Charman joins the specialist lender from Mint Bridging, where she also worked as a business development manager. 

Being based in York, Sophie will travel throughout northern England with a particular focus on the North East and will help explain LendInvest’s product range to brokers in the region.

“Sophie’s breadth of experience as both a BDM and a broker puts her in a brilliant position to cultivate business in an area that is strategically important for our business development plans,” said Matthew Tooth, COO at LendInvest.

Sophie’s appointment follows the hiring of Peter McDermid as business development manager for Scotland and Damien Druce, who is based in Manchester.

“We’ve seen an increasing demand in the northern market,” added Matthew.

“Hiring our first northern BDM at the end of last year has highlighted the potential within the region, one which Sophie – alongside Damien Druce – is more than equipped to capitalise on.”

LendInvest has completed five deals in Scotland alone this month and Sophie is excited about joining the team as it continues its regional expansion.

“What will truly make the difference in the region is the diverse product range that LendInvest is offering, a suite truly tailored to a broad spectrum of borrowers.”
