Paragon Bank has added two new business development managers (BDMs) to its mortgages sales team.
Eloise Potts will cover the North West, and Stephen Harrison will look after brokers in the North East.
Both bring over 10 years of experience in the mortgage sector.
Harrison joins from London and Country, where he spent more than eight years in roles including advisor, team manager, and training and development, before setting up his own brokerage.
Potts arrives from Aldermore, where she also spent over eight years and started out as an underwriter before moving into business development.
Both will report to Sam Debenham, regional manager of mortgage sales.
Debenham said: “It’s fantastic to welcome Eloise and Stephen to the team.
“Having worked in BDM, broker and underwriting roles means that their knowledge and experience couldn’t be better suited.
“They know how brokers like to work and how they don’t so are well placed to support them.”
Jason Wilde, head of sales for Paragon Bank’s mortgages division, said: “Bringing in Eloise and Stephen bolsters our Mortgages sales team and highlights how Paragon is attracting the best talent from across the industry.
“They’ll work closely with firms in the North West and North East as part of our distribution strategy.
“This is focused on building relationships with a wider network of brokerages to write more simple business easily and swiftly, in addition to the complex cases we’ve built a reputation for during our 30 years of buy-to-let lending.”
