Peer-to-peer (P2P) mortgage lender Landbay has appointed a new chief lending officer.
Paul Clampin has 29 years of experience in the mortgage industry and joins from Paragon Group where he was Director of Mortgage Underwriting.
Paul said: “There is a lot of excitement building in the buy-to-let (BTL) lending industry around Landbay and I’m certainly looking forward to playing my part in helping the business to grow.
“The Landbay model is built on the very compelling combination of an innovative technology platform with experienced and high quality underwriting.
“I’m looking forward to building on what is already in place to help Landbay meet its exciting growth targets.”
Paul will have an important role in the expansion of Landbay’s underwriting capacity after the company announced a significant upgrade of its growth plans.
John Goodall, Co-Founder and CEO of Landbay, said: “Attracting people of Paul’s calibre is a testament to the strong foundations we have put in place for Landbay and means this business is ready to enter a new phase in its growth.
“Our lending volumes are set to increase substantially over the next 18 months, and I’m sure Paul will do a fantastic job of scaling up our lending capacity, while maintaining the high underwriting standards that form the bedrock of our model.
“The first half of 2015 has seen our senior team grow with a host of exciting names, and we know Paul’s contributions will take us to new heights.”
This year, Landbay has made several high profile appointments including a new chief operating officer when Julian Cork joined from Macquarie Bank.
