Black & White Bridging grows team with Midlands hire

Black & White Bridging has appointed Stuart Benge as Relationship Director for the Midlands, as the business continues to grow nationally.

Stuart has more than 30 years’ experience across sales and relationship management roles, having previously worked at Hodge, Assetz Capital and Norwich & Peterborough Building Society.

Alongside Stuart’s appointment, the lender has also strengthened its operations team with the appointment of Jithin Saju as Data Analyst.

The appointments follow a landmark period for Black & White Bridging, which recently announced it is approaching £0.5bn of lending, has completed more than 750 deals since launching in 2021 and has officially opened its new £1m headquarters in Bristol.

Damien Druce, COO at Black & White Bridging, said:

“We’re delighted to welcome both Stuart and Jithin to the business. As we continue scaling at pace, bringing in experienced and talented people who share our mindset and commitment to service is hugely important.

“Our focus remains the same, delivering transparent lending, backing brokers with quick decisions and continuing to raise the standard across the specialist finance market.”
