Charles Street hires Ibn-Abdul as BDM for Midlands and South West – Mortgage Strategy
Charles Street Finance has appointed Amjad Ibn-Abdul as a business development manager in the Midlands and South West.
A former adviser with mainstream banks including HSBC, Lloyds and RBS, Ibn-Abdul joins from London-based lender Lakeshield, where he was a business development manager.
Previously, he worked at commercial brokerage Rainstone Money, providing clients with commercial term and bridging finance and as a business development manager for lending platform Nester.
Before that, he worked alongside Charles Street’s sales director, Carl Graham at Tuscan Capital, which is now part of Allica Bank.
In his new role, Ibn-Abdul will be responsible for growing Charles Street’s regional presence as the specialist lender continues plans to grow its loan book to £1 billion.
He will focus on expanding his network of intermediaries and direct clients, offering a range of commercial finance products such as unregulated bridging loans, commercial and semi-commercial term, buy-to-let mortgages and revolving credit facilities (RCF).
Commenting on the appointment, Graham says: “Amjad is well-known in the industry and is really well connected to an established network of clients and brokers, so will be a fantastic addition to the team as Charles Street continues to grow its presence in a key region.”
“He’s well positioned in the Midlands to also serve not only major cities such as Birmimgham but also the wider region including the M5 corridor and South Wales. Amjad brings vast amounts of knowledge, skill and experience to his new role and it’s a pleasure to work with him again.”
