Neil has joined HTB from MT Finance, where she was head of new business, to work alongside the specialist mortgages leadership teams.

Reporting to Louisa Sedgwick, deputy managing director of HTB, Neil’s initial focus will be to lead the new business team across specialist mortgages and to further enhance delivery of the service proposition.

Sedgwick said: “It’s great to welcome Sherice to HTB. Her enthusiasm and advocacy for the intermediary market is second to none. I can’t wait to see what she can bring to the HTB.”

Neil added: “As I’ve looked to the next step in my career, HTB seems like an obvious fit. Their passion to do what’s right for the broker resonates so much with me.”

Charles McDowell, head of specialist mortgages at HTB, said: “Anna has been a fantastic team member at HTB and although it’s always sad to see friends move on, we all recognise that things come to an end. We wish Anna all the best fortune for the future.”
