West One has added three additional hires to its Short-term Division, Alan Collins, Parit Shah, and Josh Newbould, in an effort to further boost new business across bridging, development and commercial products. These hires extend West One’s investment in the business development team over the past few months.

Collins joins as a field-based Business Development Manager for the South West and Wales. Collins has worked in property finance for over a decade. In his most recent role, he served in a similar position at Affirmative Finance, and before that, he was Relationship Manager at Roma Finance. This rapidly growing region will now have two dedicated Business Development Managers, and his addition will give the specialist lender more capacity to deliver even greater volumes and quality of service in this region.

Shah most recently served as Mortgage Advisor at The Loans Engine and Newbould as Commercial Mortgage Consultant at Omega Commercial Solutions. Both join as Telephone Business Development Managers, bringing their expertise in supporting intermediaries with most appropriate specialist finance solutions for their clients.

Shah will serve in a key London region, also covering Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, while Newbould will cover East London, Kent and Essex.

Jez Quinn, Head of Sales, Short-term Finance says, “I’m delighted to welcome Alan, Parit, and Josh to the team.  Alan has been operating in the South West for a number of years and now with a market leading proposition to work with, I’m looking forward to us growing our presence in such an important region.”

“Parit joins us as a TBDM in one of our key London regions, Parit’s skills and experience will compliment an already very well-established region for us. I’m also excited about the energy and enthusiasm Josh brings to the table, which will help us deliver great value for our intermediary clients.”
