Aspen Bridging has made two appointments to its sales team, as the firm targets £1bn in total lending in the next few years.
Ian Miller-Hawes rejoined as sales director and will be responsible for the overall management of the business development manager (BDM) team.
For a number of years Miller-Hawes drove growth in Aspen as head of sales, and in late 2023 briefly joined a competitor before returning to lead the team.
Miller-Hawes said: “The morale at Aspen is very positive and returning to the team feels like coming home.
“I am very excited about the opportunity and, working with Jack and the wider team, we are fired up to increase lending consistently year-on-year by over 30% as targeted.”
Mike Allen joined as BDM and will be responsible for driving new relationships and deepening existing ones with brokers.
He was previously an internal BDM at Octane Capital, before which he worked at Brightstar as a specialist broker.
Jack Coombs, managing director at Aspen Bridging, said: “Recently we have made several key personnel decisions as we structure the business for £1bn in total lending, having recently hit the £500m mark.
“The appointments of Ian and Mike, alongside Steve, create a sales team with the motivated and experienced people needed to help deliver on our targets.”
