Paragon Bank has strengthened its SME Lending broker team with the appointment of Ollie Shrubsall (pictured) as business development manager.
Shrubsall will be responsible for managing the London and the South East region and reporting into Ian Galbraith, head of broker at Paragon SME Lending.
His appointment and experience enhances the team as Paragon seeks to build stronger relationships with the broker network.
He joins Paragon from White Oak, where he was a business development manager, and prior to that Shrubsall worked at Bibby Leasing Limited. He has also held positions at Close Brothers and Renaissance Asset Finance. Since entering the industry, Shrubsall has worked extensively with leading businesses and has gained invaluable experience and understanding of brokers’ needs and day-to-day client facing activities.
Shrubsall said: “With previous experience within the market as both a business development manager and a broker, I’m pleased to have joined Paragon and looking forward to working with introducers across London and the South East.
“These are strong regions for SMEs from across a range of sectors and we are here to support British businesses to grow and achieve their ambitions.”
Head of broker, Ian Galbraith, added: “I’m delighted that Ollie is joining our Broker team, covering the London and South East Area.
“He is highly focussed on delivering an excellent service to our brokers using his strong asset finance experience gained through previous roles in the industry.
“Ollie will also support the growing success of our introducer portal helping brokers control their proposals and quicker delivery to their customers.”
