Paragon Bank has appointed Roger Churaman as its regional sales manager.

Churaman joins from Aldermore, where he was a relationship manager, and in this new role will be responsible for managing sales staff across London and the home counties.

Churaman has worked in the mortgage industry for a number of years, having previously spent a decade working at  Lloyds Banking Group, where he managed a portfolio of property investors and developers with a lending book of £30 million.

Paragan Bank says this latest appointment will further strengthen its buy-to-let sales team.

Paragaon Bank national sales manager Jason Wilde says that Churaman is a welcome addition to an experienced team of regional managers. He adds: “Churaman joins from a well-respected lender within the complex market, so his experience within this field will be a real asset to both Paragon and our intermediary partners.”

Churaman says he was pleased to be joining a bank that had the reputation for providing competitive products for portfolio landlords.
