Fincorp, one of the UK’s most successful and well-established bridging loan providers, has appointed a new Business Development Manager to drive growth of its expanding brokerage business.

Barry Scott has over 20 years’ experience in the financial services sector, working as a mortgage broker, financial advisor and, most recently, as Business Development Manager for Deutsche Bank and Royal London.

In his new role he will be responsible for developing Fincorp’s growing client base of mortgage brokers, IFAs and accountants, and advising them on the opportunities bridging finance can offer them and their clients.

“In the current climate, increasing numbers of mortgage brokers are looking to secure fast, easy access to short-term bridging funds on behalf of their clients,” says Barry. “My job is to help them understand when and where bridging finance is a sensible option, and how it can add a useful income stream to their business,” he added.

Founded in 1988, Principal Lender Fincorp concentrates its lending activities in London and the South East where it has developed a reputation for delivering fast-track, hassle free bridging finance for residential property purchases and auction funding.

Commenting on Barry Scott’s appointment, Founding Partner Ronnie Natas said: “I’m delighted to welcome Barry to Fincorp. As a small team of highly experienced finance and property professionals we pride ourselves on delivering a personal, individualised service to our many loyal clients. Barry’s experience will allow us to expand this service offering to mortgage brokers and IFAs who wish to take advantage of our considerable resources.”
