Butterfield Mortgages in the UK has appointed Tom Blackmore as its senior relationship manager.

Blackmore brings over 25 years of experience in the financial services industry.

Most recently, he spent eight years at Arbuthnot Latham, where he focused on structuring complex lending solutions for high-net-worth (HNW) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) clients.

In his new role, Blackmore will focus on relationship management across the existing book of clients and enhancing the service experience of both current and future borrowers with complex lending requirements.

He will also sit on the executive committee and work closely alongside senior business development manager Wendy Scott, who leads the firm’s broker relationships and business development activities.

Commenting on his appointment, Blackmore says: “Butterfield Mortgages has a clear appetite to lend and support clients with sophisticated financial needs and structures. I’m eager to contribute to its continued success and reputation for delivering tailored mortgage and lending solutions to meet the complex needs of HNW individuals.”

Butterfield chief executive Alpa Bhakta adds: “I’m delighted to welcome Tom to Butterfield Mortgages. Providing an outstanding client-centric experience is a key part of what we offer, and Tom will add significant value to our relationship management team.”

“His background in private banking makes him an ideal fit as we continue to support brokers and borrowers who are navigating a complex investment landscape. It’s great to have him on board.”
