West One Loans has hired Jez Quinn as national account manager within its buy-to-let (BTL) division.

Quinn joins with 15 years of industry experience after previously holding positions at Masthaven Bank, Secure Trust Bank and the West Brom Building Society.

His appointment is set to help continue the growth of West One’s buy-to-let division, which has significantly expanded distribution in the last year.

West One Loans managing director for the buy-to-let division Andrew Ferguson says Quinn’s appointment “is a key part of our strategy to become the ‘go-to option’ for brokers in the buy-to-let arena”.

“He’ll work with brokers, reviewing each case on its merits and ensuring we support clients with the smooth and secure purchase or remortgage they require. We have set ourselves ambitious targets for this year and we’re confident that our investment in people will support these growth plans,” Ferguson adds. 

West One’s buy-to-let division specialises in complex transactions such as large portfolios, large block exposures, houses in multiple occupation/multi-unit freehold blocks, holiday lets and will consider ex-pat applicants.
