Finnigan rejoins after spending a a brief period away from the organisation. He previously spent more than eight years at Redwood during its early growth.

In his role, Finnigan will focus on helping brokers in the North West. Redwood Bank says his experience and broker relationships will play a key role as the bank continues to drive specialist lending growth throughout 2026.

Commenting on his appointment Finnigan says: “Seeing Redwood’s progress from the outside made it clear that the changes weren’t cosmetic. The proposition has evolved in ways that genuinely support brokers, with greater flexibility, clearer decisions and confidence in dealing with complex cases. Combined with the ambition for 2026, that made returning an easy decision.”

Redwood Bank chief executive Gary Wilkinson adds: “We’ve been very deliberate in listening to brokers and turning their feedback into real action and change. The strength of our proposition today reflects that focused approach. Chris’s return brings very extensive experience and expertise to the business and is a powerful endorsement of the direction we’re taking and the momentum we’re building.”
