Hampshire Trust Bank has hired Mathura Paramjorthy as head of portfolio management in its specialist mortgages and bridging division.
The industry veteran reports to managing director, specialist mortgages and bridging finance Alex Upton.
Paramjorthy (pictured) was most recently chief operating officer at Bridge Invest, where she worked for a year, and held the same role at TAB, where she spent over five years.
She began her career in 2008 at Philip Ross Solicitors, specialising in residential property, where she became a partner.
Hampshire Trust Bank’s Upton says: “Portfolio management is where we make sure the structures agreed on day one continue to work for clients through to repayment.
“It is a part of the process brokers may not always see immediately, but it underpins every facility.
“As the size and complexity of cases grow, that oversight becomes even more important.
“Mathura’s background as a property lawyer, together with her operational and lending experience, brings exactly the perspective we need across both our specialist mortgages and bridging books.”
Paramjorthy adds: “My career has taken me from property law into operational leadership, and that mix has shown me how important it is to combine strong processes with clear communication.
“Brokers want to know that once a deal completes their clients will be supported throughout the term, and that is what portfolio management delivers.”
