Butterfield Mortgages has appointed Tom Blackmore as senior relationship manager as the lender continues to strengthen its client services team in the UK.
Based in London, the specialist residential mortgage provider focuses on prime property lending for high-net-worth individuals.

He will also join the Executive Committee and work closely with Wendy Scott, senior business development manager, who oversees broker relationships and business development.
Blackmore said: “Butterfield Mortgages has a clear appetite to lend and support clients with sophisticated financial needs and structures.
I’m eager to contribute to its continued success and reputation for delivering tailored mortgage and lending solutions to meet the complex needs of HNW individuals.”
