Paula has more than 20 years of experience in financial services, including 14 years at Shawbrook Bank and four and a half at Together.

She joins from United Trust Bank where she held the role of sales director.

In her new role, she will focus on developing relationships with networks and key accounts in the North.

Gary also joins from United Trust Bank, where he worked as a BDM.

He brings extensive experience across bridging and specialist lending, having held a number of roles within the sector.

These appointments follow a series of key hires earlier this year, including Lorenzo Satchell as national account director in the South, Kendyl Binnie as a BDM and Denise Davies as senior underwriter.

Paula commented: “The bank has built a strong reputation for its approach to bridging and its commitment to working closely with brokers.

Gary said: “StreamBank has a clear focus on service, speed and common-sense lending, which really stands out in the current market.

“I am looking forward to working with brokers across the North and Scotland, helping them navigate increasingly complex cases with practical, reliable support.”

Roz Cawood, managing director of property finance at StreamBank, added: “The quality of people joining StreamBank this year reflects both our ambition and the strength of our proposition.

“Paula and Gary are well known and highly respected across the specialist market, and their experience will be invaluable as we continue to grow.

“These new hires strengthen our ability to support brokers with well-structured deals, particularly as cases become more detailed and time sensitive.”
