“I found Black & White’s transparent and honest approach to bridging finance really appealing and I look forward to showing clients exactly what we stand for.”

Helena, who will be providing support for the lender’s senior leadership team, has previously held executive support roles for Lowry Capital and Mint Property Finance.

Helena commented: “It’s a busy and important time for Black & White, following such rapid expansion and with a very busy calendar for the remainder of 2025 and into 2026.

Helena said that she hoped to support the senior leadership team at Black & White to allow them to focus on the lender’s overall goals.

Damien Druce, COO at Black & White Bridging, said: “In January, Black & White Bridging had 14 full-time members of staff.

“With these three new hires, we now have 30. While we have doubled in size, we are not neglecting the back end of the business; we aren’t interested in style over substance.

“Not only are Jenny, Niamh and Helena all crucial to the progression of Black & White Bridging and our development as a leading player in the UK bridging market, their appointments — along with some significant lending milestones — also illustrate the extent and pace of our growth.”
