Envelop appointments Matthew Clarke as head of sales

Envelop has appointed Matthew Clarke (pictured) as its new head of sales.

Speaking about the appointment, Donna Wells, director at Envelop, said: “Business levels over recent months have exceeded our expectations and sectors such as bridging finance and the second charge arena have led the way in bolstering volumes with some extremely high value cases being completed, and more in the pipeline.”

She added: “It’s vital that we find new ways to help our intermediary partners to better engage with the specialist markets, and Matthew will prove an integral force in this process from both a strategic and practical perspective.”

Clarke, who previously worked at Dynamo as a mortgage manager, brings over eight years of experience in financial services to the role. He said: “Envelop is a highly progressive company whose history and reputation throughout the industry meant that this represented an unmissable opportunity for me.”

Clarke’s responsibilities include developing a comprehensive sales and distribution strategy, managing Envelop’s internal and external sales team, and engaging with key partners to support them in maximizing opportunities across specialist mortgage markets.

Envelop, previously known as First 4 Bridging (F4B), rebranded in September 2022 to reflect the growing level of enquiries involving complex residential transactions, buy-to-let, second charge, commercial term loans, and development finance.
