West One appoints new head of bridging finance




West One has promoted Tom Cantor (pictured above) to head of bridging finance.

Tom joined the company as an executive in 2019, and has since played a leading role in the growth and development of the lender’s bridging team.

Throughout his time at West One, he has gained senior-level experience across all areas of the business, including underwriting, operations, management, sales and finance.

In his new role as head of bridging finance, he will take full responsibility of West One’s bridging business and will report directly to the firm’s CEO Danny Waters.

“It’s a real privilege to step up and take the reins of West One’s bridging division at what is an exciting time for the business,” said Tom.

“West One has assembled a bridging team with a vast amount of knowledge and experience, who offers an exceptional service.


“We are committed to growing our lending and ensuring we deliver the best possible experience to intermediaries and their clients.

“To do this, we will continue to be relationship-driven and focus on providing brokers with access to the best possible range of solutions and a seamless customer journey.

“As demand for short-term finance continues to grow, we want to make it easy for borrowers across the UK to access the funding solutions they need.”

Danny added: “Tom has strong relationships and extensive knowledge of the market, both of which will help take our bridging division onto the next stage of its development.

“As a lender, we pride ourselves on our service and products offering, but we are always looking at ways we can improve. 

“Tom has a lot of good ideas about how we do that, which I am sure brokers will appreciate.”
