Stanton will lead the sales team and Landbay’s national accounts across all distribution channels, including networks, mortgage clubs and packagers.

He will also be joining Landbay’s executive leadership team.

Stanton will look to grow the sales team and develop business across the UK to help consolidate and grow Landbay’s position as the specialist buy-to-let lender of choice.

He was previously Landbay’s business development director having joined the firm as a regional account manager in 2018.

His promotion follows the departure of Landbay’s managing director of intermediaries Paul Brett who announced that he will leave the business to set up a coaching and consulting business.

Brett joined Landbay in 2017 and has been instrumental in building up the sales team and helping to grow Landbay into the leading buy-to-let mortgage lender it is today.

Landbay chief executive John Goodall said: “Despite the challenging times that we have all faced in the past two years, Landbay is going from strength-to-strength and Rob has proved that he is the right person with the right skills and relationships to help us to continue to grow.

“At the same time, we are very sorry to be saying goodbye to Paul Brett.  Paul has been a key part of our business over the past six years and has played an important role in getting Landbay to where it is today. Both I, and the whole business, would like to thank him for all that he has done.”

Commenting on his appointment Rob Stanton said: “Landbay has grown significantly, every year since it was founded, through its focus on brokers and their clients.  I want to take this dedication to provide the very best experience to brokers, networks, clubs, packagers and of course the borrower, to help Landbay to continue this growth trajectory.”
