Glenhawk expands team with two BDM appointments

Glenhawk has appointed Harleigh French (pictured) and Alex Robertson to lead its internal telephone business development manager (BDM) team.

Working alongside the existing BDMs, Robertson and French will be responsible for qualifying lending enquiries and ensuring loan completions in collaboration with the underwriting department, as the company targets £550m of lending in 2025.

Robertson joins Glenhawk from Avamore Capital, having advised borrowers across unregulated, refurbishment and development exit projects, for both residential and commercial developments.

French has been at Glenhawk for six years, building up a broker and client list spanning England and Wales.

Jamie Pritchard, managing director of sales at Glenhawk, said: “Alex and Harleigh will be valuable go-to bridging experts for borrowers, given their deep understanding of real estate lending fundamentals.

“Our clients need their applications qualified and completed as swiftly as possible, and the growing volume of enquiries we are witnessing requires this specialised expertise.

“Glenhawk’s talent strategy has always been informed by market requirements, so that borrowers consistently get a best-in-class service, and having dedicated team members to support them on complex transactions is critical.”
