Mint Bridging names head of lending

Richard – who joined the lender in September 2015 – was previously head of underwriting.

In his new role, Richard will be involved with additional development work with Mint’s lawyers, valuers and quantity surveyors, as well as the provision of additional support for funders.

He will continue to play a significant part in day-to-day decision making for new lending opportunities, alongside being more involved in overseeing the management of Mint’s loan book.

“Richard has been at the centre of our lending management for over three years and our recent success could not have occurred without his considerable commitment, care and expertise,” said Andrew Lazare, managing director at Mint.

“I am delighted that we have been able to reward his hard work with this newly created position, and I am confident that he will be at the heart of the success of our business for many years to come.”

 Richard added: “I am incredibly pleased to be able to step up into a new responsibility which has been tailor-made for me.”
