Gerasimov had previously worked for the specialist lender for 10 years, before leaving to work for West One Loans in May last year.

In his new role he will work with advisory firms across a range of North and East London postcode areas, as well as the wider South East region, and will report to national sales manager Nathan Goodridge.

This appointment follows the recent promotion of Keith Jones and Katie Quigley to senior regional account managers.

Foundation Home Loans director of sales Grant Hendry says: “We are very pleased to welcome Gerasimov back as an experienced regional account manager.

“There have been a number of changes recently to boost the sales team, and we have developed an array of experienced personnel to support intermediaries active in the specialist residential and buy-to-let sectors.”
