West One, the specialist bridging finance and buy to let finance lender, has expanded its buy-to-let team.  These new senior hires will help the lender to capitalise on Specialist Sector opportunities throughout the year.  More support roles will also be added to the team.

Jason James, previously with Bluestone Mortgages, has joined West One as a National Account Manager.  Kitt Makwana will be a new Key Account Manager and Paul Huxter will be supporting the lender’s distribution extension strategy.  All three new roles will be part of the BTL team, managing relationships with both Mortgage clubs and networks.

Andrew Ferguson, managing director of BTL at West One Loans, said: “The BTL division has strong growth ambitions for 2021, and these additions to the team are a key part of that strategy.

“We are keen to make our proposition more widely available to the intermediary market and expand our distribution through networks and mortgage clubs in order to take full advantage of the opportunities for the specialist sector in 2021.

“Brokers will now be able to transact with us in the manner they choose, either directly through our new channels or through one of our master broker partners.”
