Andy joins LendInvest from InterBay Commercial where he was a senior business development manager.

Andy brings 30 years of experience with him to the specialist online mortgage lender having previously worked as a commercial mortgage broker for Christie Finance and as a business development manager for NatWest. 

In his new role, Andy will be responsible for sourcing deals across the South of England and will travel throughout the region considering specialist property loans from anywhere between Kent and Cornwall and up to Birmingham. 

“I am always looking to break new ground and try something new, so the opportunity to join the team of an established and fast-growing lender like LendInvest that continues to bring excellent new products to a market that truly needs them is an exciting prospect,” said Andy.

“The demand for finance is certainly there and I am looking forward to getting back out on the road.”

Andy’s appointment follows a string of hires by LendInvest outside of London.

“Andy has an outstanding reputation with both brokers and lenders alike, bringing a wide range of contacts to the role,” added Matthew Tooth, chief commercial officer at LendInvest.

“His extensive experience as both a business development manager and broker means he understands how to manage a deal from both sides of the coin, allowing him to anticipate issues before they arrive and identify new opportunities early. 

“We are very excited to have Andy on board as we look to continue looking to expand our product offering this year and reach more borrowers right across the South of England.”
