Paragon Bank has promoted Tim Sweetman, previously business development manager (BDM) covering northwest England, to mortgages national account manager.
Sweetman brings over 20 years’ experience in property and finance, with previous roles at Santander and Countrywide.
In his new role, he will work closely with Paragon’s key distribution partners across the country, including networks, clubs and specialist distributors.
He will initially undertake a dual role until the end of May, continuing to support brokers across the Northwest while transitioning to his new position.
Sweetman said: “I’m very pleased to be taking up this new role after enjoying my time as the BDM for the Northwest.
“My focus now is on developing and growing our relationships with network, mortgage club and other distributor partners, sharing our specialist lending knowledge with them.
“We are evolving how we operate with the trade and streamlining our processes to make us easier to work with, supporting advisers to find the specialist lending solutions they need for their clients.”
Sally Wright, mortgages senior national account manager at Paragon Bank, said: “I am thrilled to be welcoming Tim to the national accounts team.
“Having worked with intermediary partners and landlords for many years, Tim has an extremely successful track record of building strong relationships, something that will be invaluable as he transitions into his new role.
“Working more strategically with our mortgage network and club partners and expanding our reach with intermediary firms remains a key priority for Paragon this year and I look forward to seeing Tim thrive in his new role.”
