Bridging and development lender London Credit has appointed Sophie Jones-Trutwein as Business Development Manager for the Midlands, marking a key step in the expansion of its regional presence across the country.
With more than ten years’ experience in financial services, Sophie joins from Allica Bank, where she spent three years as Central Business Development Manager, supporting brokers with commercial lending solutions for SME clients. Her previous experience also includes a role at Yorkshire Building Society, working across intermediary and customer-facing channels.
Having started her role on Monday 4th August and based in the West Midlands, Sophie will be the dedicated point of contact for brokers in the region, supporting access to London Credit’s short-term bridging and development finance products. Her appointment forms part of the lender’s broader focus on increasing broker access and expanding its footprint outside London and the South East.
Marios Theophanous, Credit Manager at London Credit, commented:
“Sophie’s experience, regional knowledge and commercial mindset make her a strong addition to our team. Her approach dovetails perfectly with the way we like to work: direct, responsive and solutions-led. This is a natural next step in our growth, and we’re excited to build deeper relationships with brokers across the Midlands.”
Sophie Jones-Trutwein, Business Development Manager at London Credit, added:
“London Credit has built a strong name for itself in the bridging space, and I’m looking forward to bringing that proposition to brokers across the Midlands. It’s great to be joining a lender that prioritises relationships and gets deals done without unnecessary delays.”
