Alternative Bridging Corporation has strengthened its underwriting team with the recruitment of Leigh Harwood, who returns to the firm. 

The specialist lender says Harwood, who has nearly a decade of specialist underwriting experience, previously worked at the business for two years until 2020. 

He has also held posts at Streambank, C&M Wealth International and GE Money. 

The firm says his experience will allow him “to structure solutions for complex cases”. 

Alternative Bridging Corporation head of underwriting Claire O’Brien adds: “A specialist property lender can only ever be as strong as its underwriting team and, at Alternative Bridging, I think we have one of the strongest in the industry.  

“Leigh is a great addition to that team and will add lots of value to our brokers and their clients.”  

Harwood says that his previous stint at the business was “unfortunately cut short due to the Covid pandemic”, before adding that, “it’s good to be back”.
