Aspen Bridging has confirmed four key senior promotions to support the business target of £250m lending in 2025, which represents book growth of 25%.
Aqib Iqbal becomes head of credit, with Sinead McMurray stepping into his vacated role of credit manager. Both joined through the Graduate Recruitment Scheme (GRS) in 2021 and 2022 respectively and have played important roles in helping to manage and improve the lender’s credit function.
Richard Tweddell is promoted to underwriting manager having been a senior underwriter. He started at the lender in 2021 through the GRS and now handles some of the Aspen’s most complex cases.
And Richard Coombs moves to a broader remit as operations manager from credit analyst.
The promotions follow the lender’s recent announcement of four appointments onto its GRS, its largest single intake of students to date, as well as its soon-to-be=named Midlands BDM.
