Paragon Bank has promoted Jason Wilde as head of sales from his previous role as national sales manager.

In Wilde’s new role, he will continue to support Paragon’s mortgages business development manager (BDM) while also focusing on enhancing relationships with intermediaries.

Former national account manager Sally Wright will take on the role of head of distribution to collaborate with mortgage networks and clubs.

In addition, Andy Rudkin and Sam Debenham will take on regional BDM posts after being promoted from their previous senior BDM positions.

Rudkin will cover the South of England and Debenham will take on the North. The pair will support their BDM colleagues in their respective areas while continuing to play an active part in helping brokers find financial solutions for landlord customers.

All roles will report to mortgages commercial director Russell Anderson.

Commenting on the roles, Anderson says: “A key priority for us this year and next sees us expand our reach by working more strategically with our mortgage networks and club partners, while strengthening the relationships we already have with intermediary firms. We’ve created some new roles to reflect that and promoted from within, benefitting from the experience and expertise we have, while also keeping a degree of continuity.”
