Chetwood Bank has appointed Simon Parish as business development manager (BDM) for the South East region.

Parish brings 20 years of experience to the position after previous roles as a BDM at Metro Bank, Paymentshield, SortRefer and LiveMore Mortgages.

He has spent the past two years working as a self-employed mortgage broker.

Parish is the latest addition to Chetwood Bank’s dual-branded ModaMortgages and CHL Mortgages sales force.

The combined setup gives BDMs the ability to help brokers place cases from across both lenders’ extensive product ranges.

Chetwood Bank group sales director for ModaMortgages and CHL Mortgages Darrell Walker says: “I’m delighted to welcome Simon to the team and am excited about the wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience he brings to the role.”

“His time spent working as a BDM and also as a broker will stand him in good stead and go down very well with intermediaries in the South East of England who are looking for support with placing their cases.”
