The expansion into a second office will gives West One a new operating base away from its Watford headquarters to help drive the lender’s nationwide growth.
It will be led by Duncan Abraham, West One’s recently appointed regional director (pictured above, second from right), with desk space for underwriting and operations staff, as well as regional BDMs.
Duncan commented: “I look forward to playing an integral role in this next phase of West One’s growth.
“I have seen first-hand how demand has grown in the region over the past few years.

“This new office will help us deliver the capacity to meet that demand while signalling our intent to brokers and borrowers that rely on proximity to get deals done.”
Stephen Hogg, West One’s COO (pictured above, far right), said: “Regional expansion is a natural evolution for West One.
“With nearly 300 staff in the wider Enra group of companies, it is important for us to build additional operating capacity beyond our Watford base to power our continued growth plans.
“The economic strength and strong appetite for credit in the North makes it a key target market for us as we look to grow our business further.
“The new office will give us a firm foundation from which to deliver our market-leading service proposition and our comprehensive range of lending products to our broker partners and their clients in the north of the country.”
