Graham joins Fleet with over 12 years of experience working in financial services, most recently at Monmouthshire Building Society, where she worked as BDM for South Wales.

Prior to that, she worked as a mortgage and protection adviser with firms including Grosvenor May Financial Services, The Money Partnership, and NatWest, as well as customer-facing roles at both RBS and HSBC.

Graham joins with immediate effect, reporting to chief commercial officer Steve Cox.

She is responsible for supporting brokers and firms across the region, helping them place specialist buy-to-let business and ensuring they have access to Fleet’s full range of products, criteria and support.

She will work closely with intermediary partners to help them identify opportunities within their client base, particularly as landlord activity continues to evolve and demand for specialist lending solutions remains strong.

Fleet Mortgages chief commercial officer Steve Cox says: “We’re very pleased to welcome Claire as our newest BDM within the Fleet team. She brings a strong track record of working closely with brokers, along with a clear understanding of what advisers need in order to place business effectively.”

“This is an important region for us and her experience, both as a BDM and as a former adviser, means she is well-placed to support brokers with the practical challenges they face, whether that’s navigating criteria, structuring cases or identifying the right solution for their landlord clients.”

“Her existing relationships and profile in the market will also help Fleet continue to grow our presence across Wales and the South West.”
