Glenhawk has appointed Harry Pleasance as business development manager (BDM) for Surrey, Kent and the South Coast.

Pleasance has more than 12 years of experience in specialist lending, and has been appointed in response to very strong demand from intermediaries.

In his new role, Pleasance will be tasked with building new relationships with brokers across the south, as well as strengthening existing relationships with those already familiar with Glenhawk’s market-leading proposition.

Glenhawk managing director Nick Hilton says: “We are delighted to bring Harry on board, adding his experience and expertise to an already strong BDM team. Harry is a proven high-performer and has a superb reputation among brokers in the south of the country. He will be invaluable in helping Glenhawk continue to expand its reach amongst intermediaries in the area.”

Pleasance adds: “I was attracted to the role because of the undoubted experience and ambition of the team – it’s clear that everyone at Glenhawk wants to consolidate and build further on its strong presence in the market.”
