Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has promoted Lorenzo Satchell to sales director within its bridging division.
Satchell has over 30 years’ experience in the property finance sector and joined HTB in January of this year as head of sales for bridging.
His promotion is in recognition of his leadership and the performance of the sales team under his stewardship, with origination levels consistently well above target.
During his career, Satchell has worked for a range of specialist lenders and packagers.
He joined HTB following 15 years at Together, where he was most recently specialist key account manager for London and the South East of England.
In his new role, Lorenzo will be responsible for managing the bridging sales team as well as overseeing all originations and intermediary business partners that work with the Bank for bridging finance solutions.
Satchell said: “2023 has been a whirlwind of a year so far and I couldn’t be happier with how much the bridging channel has achieved in such a short space of time.
“In addition to my existing duties my new role includes providing focus on strategic values, both within the bank and our key business partners.
“I’m very much looking forward to the challenge and taking HTB bridging to the next level.”
Jamie Jolly, director of bridging at Hampshire Trust Bank, added: “Lorenzo has settled into his role with HTB incredibly well and continues to impress with an astonishing work ethic that is blended with superb know-how and guile.
“His promotion is well deserved, and I know he will continue to lead the team by example as he takes on these added responsibilities.”
