Buy-to-let lender, Landbay, has announced the appointment of a new Business Development Manager (BDM) covering North Yorkshire, the North East and Scotland.

Daniel Bell joins with immediate effect and will report to Rob Stanton, sales and distribution director at Landbay. He will be working with brokers and advisory firms across the regions and providing sales support and insight across the lender’s full range of buy-to-let products, including its premier, core, specialist and product transfer ranges.

He joins Landbay from Newsource Commercial Finance in Harrogate, where he worked for more than 13 years, most recently as its head of broker relations. During his time at Newsource, he built its broker network from a standing start to more than 100 brokers, helping support the growth of the business and its subsequent sale to the Leonard Curtis Group.

Prior to becoming head of broker relations, Bell spent almost five years as a case and account manager at Newsource, managing cases across a wide range of property finance sectors including buy-to-let, HMO, MUFB, refurbishment, development, semi-commercial and commercial.
