West One is bolstering its Short-term division with the appointment of Olivia Burke as Business Development Manager in a region that comprises London & the Home Counties.
Burke brings eight years of experience in the real estate and property finance industries with practical expertise across a wide range of business functions. Her industry experience and broad skill set will add strategic depth to one of West One’s busiest bridging loan regions.
In her most recent role Burke served as Business Development Manager at Crystal Specialist Finance, covering Central London and the South of England. Before that she held roles at Metro Bank and Connells Group.
In this role, Burke will strengthen relationships with existing broker partners as well as endeavour to grow West One’s influence in the region by driving new business.
Burke’s appointment comes as West One continues its course of expansion across key regional markets in 2026.
Jez Quinn, Head of Sales, Short-term Division at West One, said, “I’m excited about the addition of Olivia to our already well-established bridging team in the Short-term Division. She is an enthusiastic, personable individual and I’m certain she’ll excel at establishing and developing broker relationships in and around Greater London.”
Burke states, “Working in specialist lending, particularly bridging finance, is where my passion lies, so being able to work with a lender that offers tailored solutions for clients will be a truly rewarding role. I’m looking forward to meeting brokers, maintaining & building relationships, and supporting them with solutions that help their customers.”
