West One has strengthened its mortgage division with a senior promotion and a new underwriting role.
Jason Ruse (pictured) has been promoted to national account manager, moving from his previous role as regional account manager.
In his new position, Ruse will support club and network partners nationwide while working closely with regional sales teams to deepen broker relationships.
The lender has also introduced a roving underwriter role, designed to provide on-the-ground support for brokers in South Wales.
The position aims to improve efficiency from enquiry through to completion by offering more responsive, case-specific underwriting support.
In addition, seven roles within the underwriting function have been filled through internal promotions, reflecting a focus on talent development and creating structured career progression pathways within the organisation.
Paul Huxter, head of intermediary sales and distribution at West One, said: “Jason’s dedication, hard work, and passion have made a marked impact on our growth in the Specialist Residential and Buy to Let markets.
“I am excited to see Jason continue to excel and drive West One’s success in this new role, by deepening and strengthening our partnership with our valued distribution partners in the Clubs and Networks channel, a role Jason has extensive experience and expertise in.”
Marie Grundy, managing director of mortgages at West One, added: “Many of our promoted team members have been part of the growing success of the Mortgage Division for some time.
“At West One we are committed to developing talent from within the business and these promotions are a well-deserved recognition of each individual’s contribution.”
