Aspen Bridging has made two new appointments to its sales team as it looks to double the size of the business, targeting £1bn total lending in the next few years.
Ian Miller-Hawes has rejoined the company as sales director and will be responsible for the overall management of the BDM team. Aspen has also hired Mike Allen as a business development manager.
Miller-Hawes was previously head of sales for Aspen, before leaving the business last year. Allen joins from Octane Capital, where he was the company’s internal BDM. He has also worked at Brightstar as a specialist broker.
These appointments follow a raft of recent promotions aimed at driving growth at the specialist lender. This saw Wayne Hicklin takes the position of risk director while Saif Khalique has become head of underwriting.
Aspen Bridging managing director Jack Coombs says: “Recently we have made several key personnel decisions as we structure the business for £1bn in total lending, having recently hit the £500m mark.”
He adds that the revamped sales team should help the company deliver on these targets.
