Cambridge & Counties Bank expands Real Estate Finance team with two senior appointments
Specialist lender Cambridge & Counties Bank has expanded its Real Estate Finance team with the appointments of Ian Tudor and Mohinder Parmar as senior business development managers. Both will report to Paul Howard, regional director (South) at the bank.
The bank has strengthened its Business Development team with the addition of Ian Tudor. Ian will focus on growing Cambridge & Counties Bank’s client base in the southeast of England and London. He joins the bank from Redwood Bank, where he spent four years as a regional business development manager (South) working closely with brokers across a range of sectors, including semi-commercial, buy-to-let, and HMOs sectors, among others. Prior to this role, he spent 18 years at Nat West as a business development manager, building extensive experience in supporting intermediary partners.
With London representing a key growth market for the bank, Cambridge & Counties Bank has strengthened its Business Development team with the appointment of Mohinder Parmar. Bringing more than 15 years’ experience in supporting brokers across London, Mohinder joins the Bank from Interbay, where he spent over four years as a specialist finance account manager. During this time, he worked closely with brokers across a broad range of commercial real estate sectors, including commercial and semi-commercial property, large portfolio buy-to-let refinancing, purpose-built student accommodation and build-to-rent developments.
Leveraging his extensive market knowledge and well-established broker relationships, Mohinder will play a key role in supporting the bank’s continued growth ambitions, further strengthening its presence across London while expanding opportunities throughout the Midlands.
Cambridge & Counties Bank continues to see strong demand from experienced property investors, commercial borrowers, and SME clients for specialist real estate funding solutions.
In its FY2025 results, published in April this year, the bank announced its REF loan book had increased by more than 15% year-on-year to a record £1.21bn, with a 31% increase in the number of active real estate finance brokers doing business with its teams across the UK. The latest appointments further demonstrate the bank’s commitment to investing in its frontline teams: in addition to Ian and Mohinder, Stephen Faulkner and Matt Dalton have been hired as lending officers, supporting client teams in the Midlands, Wales and the south of the UK, among others.
Paul Howard said: “The dynamic UK commercial property sector continues to offer excellent investment opportunities, particularly in markets such as the Midlands and London.
“We have seen record demand for our sophisticated property finance lending proposition and, as we look to capitalise further on the momentum the bank has in the UK, we’re delighted to welcome high-calibre, highly experienced individuals such as Ian and Mohinder on board to expand the work we do with brokers and their clients.”
