Pepper Money appoints regional development manager for Scotland
Michael Walsh will work with intermediaries across Scotland to provide access to specialist lending for customers who do not meet high street lending criteria.
Pepper Money has appointed Michael Walsh (pictured) as regional development manager for Scotland ahead of the launch of its first charge mortgage range in the region in September.
Walsh will work with intermediaries across Scotland to provide access to specialist lending for customers who do not meet high street lending criteria.
He joins with more than 25 years of experience in the intermediary mortgage market.
Walsh previously spent more than six years as a business development manager at OSB Group, supporting brokers across residential, buy-to-let and bridging finance for Precise Mortgages and Kent Reliance.
He also held business development manager roles at Santander for Intermediaries and BM Solutions, as well as positions at St James’s Place Bank and Intelligent Finance.
Walsh said: “I’m delighted to be joining Pepper Money at such an exciting time for the business.
“Pepper has built a strong reputation for helping customers whose circumstances don’t always fit the mould of mainstream lending, and I believe that proposition will resonate strongly with brokers across Scotland.
“Having worked in both mainstream and specialist lending throughout my career, I understand the challenges many brokers face when trying to find the right solution for their clients.”
Walsh added: “I’m looking forward to building relationships with advisers across Scotland and helping them support more customers on their homeownership journey.”
Paul Adams, director of sales at Pepper Money, said: “Scotland is a key growth market for Pepper Money and an important part of our wider strategy.
“As we prepare to launch our First Charge proposition, it is vital that we have experienced, well-respected people on the ground who understand the local market and the needs of brokers.
“Michael’s extensive experience across mainstream and specialist lending, combined with the strong relationships he has built throughout the Scottish intermediary market, make him ideally placed to lead our broker engagement in the region.”
Adams added: “He shares our commitment to supporting brokers and helping customers whose circumstances require a more considered approach to mortgage lending.”
