Landbay managing director for intermediaries Paul Brett has left the business after nearly seven years.
Brett, who wound up his role last week, has spent 37 years in the mortgage industry, beginning his career at the now defunct Hambros Bank as an underwriter in 1986 and progressing to various roles, including founding the Freehold Packaging Association.
He has now set up a coaching and consultancy business within the industry.
Brett told Mortgage Strategy: “I have had the privilege of being part of an incredible business that has trailblazed in so many ways over the last six and a half years.
“A real highlight for me was winning Mortgage Strategy’s Best Buy to Let Lender award two years in a row.
“I’ve no doubt that Landbay will go from strength to strength and I’m excited for my next adventure.”
Meanwhile, Rob Stanton who was previously business development director at Landbay has been promoted to sales and distribution director.
He will lead the sales team and the lender’s national accounts across all distribution channels, including networks, mortgage clubs and packagers and will also join Landbay’s executive leadership team.
Landbay chief executive officer John Goodall says: “Despite the challenging times that we have all faced in the past two years, Landbay is going from strength-to-strength and Rob has proved that he is the right person with the right skills and relationships to help us to continue to grow.
“At the same time, we are very sorry to be saying goodbye to Paul Brett. Paul has been a key part of our business over the past six years and has played an important role in getting Landbay to where it is today. Both I, and the whole business, would like to thank him for all that he has done.”
Rob Stanton says: “Landbay has grown significantly, every year since it was founded, through its focus on brokers and their clients. I want to take this dedication to provide the very best experience to brokers, networks, clubs, packagers and of course the borrower, to help Landbay to continue this growth trajectory. I will be spending time to personally meet all of our key partners to see how we can better provide the service that they need and expect, so we are always their buy-to-let lending partner of choice.”
