Salt has over a decade’s experience in the commercial finance sector, including roles at Aldermore Bank and Bibby Financial Services.

Most recently Salt worked with the bridging team at Stream Bank.

She joins the short-term lending specialist to work with firms and advisers across the Midlands, supporting their short-term finance clients, enhancing and developing relationships, and providing support.

She will report to sales director Jaxon Stevens and work out of the lender’s Birmingham office.

Salt’s appointment follows the recent announcement of Katie Wilsher-Garratt as Tuscan’s new regional sales director for the Home Counties, and the lender said this was part of its overall sales team restructure, designed to provide wider support to broker and intermediary partners across the country.

Jaxon Stevens says: “The Midlands is a very important region for us as a lender, with a considerable amount of development taking place, and we have a growing number of business relationships in the area which require someone with vast experience and a very high skillset that can help us deliver for advisers and their clients. We are therefore very pleased to announce Rebecca’s appointment as she has those qualities, and more. She is already very well-known and well-versed in the Midlands, and I’m sure she will be of considerable benefit to all those she deals with, as Tuscan grows our sales team and our footprint right across the country.”

Salt says: “There has been a considerable boost to both commercial and residential development in the Midlands recently, and this is set to continue into the future, so I’ll be working with firms to show how Tuscan’s strong range of short-term property finance can meet the needs of landlords and developers, and their ongoing projects.”
