Specialist lending firm Somo Bridging has welcomed Andrew Marsland to its team as the new relationship director for Wales.
Marsland has spent over 22 years in the financial services sector and his experience encompasses mortgages, underwriting, business development, and sales.
Marsland will divide his responsibilities between the Manchester office and on-site meetings with broker clients in Wales.
His role will primarily focus on advising on and promoting Somo Bridging’s bridge lending portfolio, which includes standout products such as the Valuation Only and second charge offerings.
Speaking about his new position, Marsland said: “Joining such an innovative business in a fast-growing industry is really exciting. It’s a totally different way of working for me. We get the freedom to find ways to offer deals that don’t fit the standard lending criteria. This means we can look at each individual situation, talk through the options with brokers and if it’s safe and viable, make an offer.”
He further highlighted Somo’s distinctive approach, adding: “Somo is renowned for accepting more challenging cases, based on unique circumstances. And with the kind of loans we deal with, we have to act fast. With Somo’s data, technology and solutions focussed approach, we’re receiving an enquiry and getting a decision back to the broker within an hour.”
