West One appoints Duncan Abraham as regional director

Duncan joins West One from the Together, where he was most recently underwriting operations director — he brings over 26 years of industry experience in the industry.

In his new role, Duncan will be responsible for driving the success of the company’s operations in strategic UK regions while managing and developing key relationships.

He will work closely with Danny Waters, CEO at West One’s parent company, Enra Specialist Finance.

Commenting on his appointment, Duncan said: “West One has made great strides in the specialist mortgage market, and I’m delighted to join Danny and the rest of the executive team.

“I have admired the business from afar for a long time, and to be able to contribute to its continued success and growth was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.”

He continued, “There is a strong growth strategy embedded within West One and I am looking forward to working with Danny and others in this business to expand our reach and continue offering flexible, tailored lending solutions to mortgage and property professionals across our industry.”

Danny Waters added: “Duncan is an industry heavyweight, and I am very pleased to welcome him to the team.

“His extensive experience will be crucial in driving our continued success, increasing our share of market, and unlocking new growth opportunities.”

The firm has seen a raft of changes and restructures in recent months, with its bridging and development finance teams being merged into one division last September.
