GB Bank has strengthened its lending leadership team with the appointments of Jude Miranda as senior credit partner and Alan Fitzpatrick as head of lending operations.
Miranda joins with more than 30 years of lending experience, including roles at Shawbrook Bank, Masthaven Bank, Hampshire Trust Bank and, most recently, Glenhawk.
As senior credit partner, he will support the growth of GB Bank’s property lending portfolio.
Fitzpatrick has held previous roles including Metro Bank head of mortgage originations; Habito VP of lending operations and Nomo head of property finance. He will lead the end-to-end lending operations function at GB Bank.
In addition, GB Bank has launched a Summer Internship Programme, offering students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience across a variety of departments within the bank.
The appointments and internship programme form part of GB Bank’s ongoing investment in people and commitment to nurturing emerging talent as it scales up its lending activity across its full suite of property backed finance solutions.
Commenting on the new hires GB Bank chief executive Mike Says (pictured) said: “We’re investing in talent to match our growth ambition. The appointment of Jude and Alan will give us even greater capacity to support complex, high-value deals with speed and confidence. In addition, our internship programme reflects our ongoing commitment to support the next generation of lending professionals.”
