Fleet Mortgages has appointed Claire Graham as Business Development Manager (BDM) for Wales and the South West.
Graham joins Fleet with over 12 years of experience in the financial services industry, most recently at Monmouthshire Building Society where she worked as BDM for South Wales.
Previously, she worked as a mortgage and protection adviser at companies including Grosvenor May Financial Services, The Money Partnership and NatWest, and held client-facing roles at both RBS and HSBC.
Graham joins with immediate effect and will report to Chief Commercial Officer Steve Cox.
She is responsible for supporting agents and businesses across the region, helping them place specialist buy-to-let business and ensuring they have access to Fleet’s full range of products, criteria and support.
She will work closely with intermediary partners to help them identify opportunities within their customer base, especially as landlord activity continues to evolve and demand for specialist lending solutions remains high.
Steve Cox, Chief Commercial Officer of Fleet Mortgages, said: “We are very pleased to welcome Claire as our newest BDM to the Fleet team. She has a strong track record of working closely with brokers, together with a clear understanding of what advisers need to do business effectively.”
“This is an important region for us and her experience, both as a BDM and a former consultant, means she is well placed to support agents with the practical challenges they face, whether that involves navigating criteria, structuring matters or identifying the right solution for their landlords.”
“Her existing relationships and profile in the market will also help Fleet continue to grow our presence in Wales and the South West.”
