Specialist mortgage and property finance provider, West One Loans, has promoted Tom Cantor to head of bridging finance.
Cantor joined West One as an executive in 2019 and has gained senior-level experience across all areas of the business, including underwriting, management, and finance.
Cantor will now take on full responsibility of West One’s bridging business and will report directly into chief executive officer, Danny Waters.
Waters said: “Tom has played a key role in making West One Loans one of the market’s leading bridging lenders over the past few years.
“He has strong relationships and extensive knowledge of the market, both of which will help take our bridging division onto the next stage of its development.”
Prior to joining West One, Cantor worked as an associate for leading M&A specialist Baylor Klein and spent the early part of his career in investment banking at RBS.
Cantor added: “It’s a real privilege to step up and take the reins of West One’s bridging division at what is an exciting time for the business.
“While we are already one of the largest and most-respected bridging lenders in the market, we are committed to growing our lending and ensuring we deliver the best possible experience to intermediaries and their clients.”
