West One has announced the appointment of Sam Pettit as Regional Account Manager, Short-term Finance (North). Her role will cover England and Scotland, strengthening the specialist lender’s foothold in one of the UK's fastest-growing property markets.
Pettit brings extensive experience in specialist finance, having most recently served as Business Development Manager at Crystal Specialist Finance where she played a central role in cultivating and managing broker relationships across a wide range of specialist finance products. Prior to that, she held the position of Broker Relationship Manager at Clever Lending.
Pettit’s track record and demonstrated ability in building strong partnerships at regional scale will be of immense value as West One expands its northern operations. Her addition to the Short-term Division further demonstrates the specialist lender’s continued commitment to strengthening ties with brokers in the region following the opening of a Manchester office earlier in the year.
In her new role, Pettit will focus on developing and maintaining broker relationships across the Northern region, supporting partners with West One's short-term lending solutions including bridging finance, development finance, as well as commercial mortgage lending.
Pettit says, “I’m excited for this new chapter of my professional journey with West One. Knowing the breadth of specialist lending solutions available combined with the outstanding service the team delivers, I’ve always admired how West One stands out in the specialist finance market. I'm looking forward to adopting their dynamic approach to lending and delivering on competitive solutions to the region. It’s exactly the kind of environment where I can make an impact and help brokers unlock even greater opportunities.”
Jez Quinn, Head of Sales, Short-term Finance, commented: “We're delighted to welcome Sam to the West One team. Her proven track record in specialist finance, combined with her deep understanding of broker needs and the regional market dynamics, makes her an excellent addition as we continue to expand our presence in the North.
“I’ve been familiar with Sam’s work for nearly ten years and have always been impressed by her professionalism, expertise, and energy. It’s a privilege to now welcome her to the team and collaborate with her directly. Sam's expertise and client-focused approach will be invaluable in supporting our broker partners across this high-growth region.”
