Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has appointed Alex McMillen as business development manager (BDM) within its bridging division.

McMillen has more than 10 years of experience in the mortgage finance sector and has moved from HTB’s specialist mortgages division, where he was a lending manager for nine months.

During his career, McMillen has also worked for Magellan Homeloans and Bluestone Mortgages.

In his new role, he will be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with introducers in London and the home counties.

HTB says this will involve keeping brokers up to speed on the bank’s latest products, processes and systems.

HTB director of bridging Jamie Jolly says: I’m very pleased to welcome Alex to the bridging team at Hampshire Trust Bank. The fact that he is not new to HTB is a real boon and means he will be hitting the ground running.”

“Over recent months we have put the finishing touches to the new HTB bridging team, with speed and flexibility at the forefront of our proposition.”
