Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has appointed Mike Sharp as business development manager (BDM), responsible for supporting key broker relationships across the Midlands.
Sharp joins the bank with a background spanning brokerage, portfolio ownership and structured property advisory work.
Prior to joining HTB, Sharp worked as a mortgage broker before moving into senior sales and advisory roles within national broker firms.
More recently, he has operated independently as a consultant, working directly with property investors, capital managers and sellers on portfolio strategy, deal sourcing and structured finance.
Alongside this, he has built and managed his own investment portfolio, including buy to let, HMOs, refurbishment projects and commercial to residential schemes.
At HTB, Sharp will focus on building continuity across the region, working closely with established broker partners and supporting long-standing and strategically important relationships.
HTB sales director Andrea Glasgow says: “Mike brings experience that is highly relevant to the role he is stepping into. He understands the broker environment and the importance of long-term relationships, and he brings a practical perspective shaped by direct involvement in portfolio lending and investment activity.”
“His appointment strengthens our ability to support key broker relationships across the Midlands with consistency, accessibility and clear decision making.”
