Sarah originally joined the bank in 2012 as a BDM and in 2016 took on the role of head of sales, before leaving the company in 2019 to become a broker.

In her new role Sarah will strengthen existing and developing new broker partner relationships across the Midlands to ensure Shawbrook can continue to support its property professional clients.

With over 20 years’ experience in the specialist property market, Sarah is bringing an array of contacts she made in the Midlands with her to the new role.

Commenting on her re-appointment, Sarah said: “Shawbrook is a fantastic place to work and I am thrilled to have come full circle and be back with the team.

•   The cost gap between BTL and bridging is 'ever narrowing'
•   Shawbrook lends £18m for Durham PBSA scheme
•   Shawbrook renews climate partnerships with CLSQ and D-Risk

“My time as a broker has not only strengthened my knowledge of the market and the needs of clients, but it also presented me with the opportunity to grow my contacts in the Midlands — this will be invaluable in my new role.

“I am looking forward to working with the sales team, all of whom are passionate about supporting brokers and their clients.

“It has been incredible to see the scale of growth since I left in 2019, and I am looking forward to playing my part in continuing and accelerating Shawbrook’s [progress].”

Matthew Taylor, national relationship manager at Shawbrook, added: “[Sarah’s] extensive knowledge of both sides of the market makes her the perfect candidate and we look forward to seeing the growth she helps us to achieve in the future.”
