Roma Finance has expanded the sales and relationship team with the appointment of Laleta Buctkuar (pictured) as key account manager. 

Bucktuar joins Roma Finance from Together, where she’s spent the last 15 years of her career. 

The lender says Bucktuar brings substantial knowledge and skills to Roma Finance and is responsible for developing relationships and supporting intermediaries to enable mutual growth. 

The administration side of the sales team has also expanded with two new administrators, Christina Conboy and Rebekah Palmer.

The expansion has enabled the move of Emma Barker and Daniel Hill, both with significant industry experience, into underwriting relationship manager roles.

Roma says the roles are a bridge between sales and underwriting, significantly improving the decision-making process and providing enhanced communication to intermediaries. 

Roma Finance commercial director Nick Jones says: “2021 is upon us and as a business we are determined to make it a great one. I am excited to welcome Laleta to the team. She is a fantastic person who creates strong relationships and will bring a great deal of skill and knowledge to the business. 

“I am also delighted to welcome Christina and Rebekah and see Daniel and Emma thrive in their new roles. The changes to the sales team will allow improved efficiency, communication and capacity within Roma, which is essential for the increased demand we are continuing to experience.”
