Cambridge & Counties Bank has further expanded its North West team with two new appointments.
Gordon Spotten has joined as a senior business development manager (BDM) while Paula McLaughlin has been appointed relationship manager.
The appointments follow the opening last year of the bank’s new office in central Manchester.
The Leicester-headquartered bank now has four offices across the UK, including its asset finance-focused Reading hub.
Spotten joins the bank from the Manchester team at lender Together. Prior to that role, he was a Relationship Manager at TSB, also in Manchester.
McLaughlin began her professional career at NatWest, before moving to The Co-operative Bank to work in its payment operations and corporate banking divisions.
In November 2022, she joined the Co-operative Bank’s SME relationship banking team.
Scott Barber, regional director at Cambridge & Counties Bank, said: “I’m delighted to be announcing two great new appointments to the local Manchester team and the further expansion of our office.
“Both Gordon and Paula have extensive experience and great contacts and will help us meet our own aspirations for growth.
“The bank is now even better positioned to serve SMEs and property professionals with our dedicated lending solutions.”
