HTB appoints Hannah Burwood as business development manager for East Anglia
Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has appointed Hannah Burwood as business development manager across its Specialist Mortgages and Bridging divisions, strengthening broker support across East Anglia.
She will report to Danny Kiely, head of sales, Specialist Mortgages & Bridging Finance, and will manage her own portfolio of brokers across the region. Hannah takes over the East Anglia portfolio previously managed by Mark Newman, following his move into a London-focused role within the team.
The move builds on continued enhancements to HTB’s Specialist Mortgages and Bridging propositions, including expanded distribution, increased underwriting capacity and refined criteria for complex property types. These developments follow a period of continued refinement across HTB’s specialist lending offering, reflecting the evolving needs of brokers working on complex cases.
Hannah joins from Aldermore, where she was relationship manager covering East Anglia, following a range of frontline sales roles within specialist and mainstream lending.
Hannah Burwood said: “I’ve worked with brokers across East Anglia for many years and know how important it is to have a lender who is accessible and genuinely invested in each case. What stood out to me about HTB is the way brokers can speak directly with the people making the decisions. That level of clarity and support makes a real difference. I’m excited to get started and build lasting relationships across the region.”
Danny Kiely said: “We continue to see strong demand from brokers across East Anglia who want clear answers and a consistent approach on complex cases. Hannah’s knowledge of the region, combined with her commitment to broker relationships, makes her an excellent addition to the team. Her appointment strengthens our coverage and ensures more brokers benefit from the clarity and tailored support we’re known for.”
Andrea Glasgow, sales director, Specialist Mortgages & Bridging Finance at HTB, said: “Hannah’s approach aligns exactly with how we work as a team: clear conversations, direct access and staying close to every case. Brokers want people who understand the deal in front of them and can move quickly to the details that matter, and that’s where Hannah will add real strength. She brings experience, balance and a genuine focus on relationships, and she’ll help us continue delivering the kind of joined-up support brokers rely on.”
