The bridging and development finance specialist has recruited senior underwriters Shane Francis and Katie Devine, while Jason Metcalfe joins the unit that will assess loans as an underwriter. 

The team is led by head of credit Lorraine Hart. 

The firm says its “flow team focuses on short-term bridging loans and utilises a streamlined underwriting process, enabling faster case completions.  

“Meanwhile, the structured team undertakes a more comprehensive process for complex cases.” 

Roma’s Hart adds: “As the head of the underwriting department, I am delighted that we have been joined by the exceptional talents of Shane, Jason and Katie this year.  

“Their contributions have made a significant positive impact on our structured underwriting team, particularly in light of the remarkable growth we’ve experienced within the business recently.”
