Real estate finance and investment house TAB has appointed Martyn Evans (pictured, right) as a senior business development manager (BDM) and Paul Holmes (pictured, left) as a commercial underwriter.
The appointments grew the firm’s footprint beyond London and the M25, and increased capacity for its recent commercial product launch.
Evans joined from Market Finance Solutions and will work closely with sales development director Jon Sturgess and the origination team to develop new and existing relationships in the North.
Evans has nearly 10 years of experience with roles at Market Finance Solutions, LiveMore Capital, Landbay and Virgin Money.
Holmes previously worked at Redwood Bank, and will be responsible for performing risk analysis as part of the credit process for prospective borrowers seeking commercial mortgages.
He has over 20 years of experience with previous roles at Redwood Bank, Metro Bank and RCI Financial Services.
Duncan Kreeger, CEO and founder of TAB, said: “Having recently launched our first mortgage product (and our new £300m funding line with NatWest and Atalaya Capital Management), this is an exciting time for TAB, and we need to ensure that we continue to search for the best talent within the specialist finance space.
“Martyn and Paul have a huge amount of experience and will add tremendous knowledge to our team.
“Having been predominantly London-based over the last five years, it is exciting to be growing our business in the North of England, and we look forward to increasing that presence over the coming years.”
