Within Enterprise, Emma Cox, sales director for property finance, will hold responsibility for the bank’s customers, distribution, proposition and the overall performance of its property offering and will report to Neil.

“Property remains a core and critical market for Shawbrook and we fully intend to grow our share through further innovation and by continuing to develop best in class service for our intermediaries and partners.”
