Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has become the latest member to join the Intermediary Mortgage Lenders Association (IMLA).
The specialist bank provides savings, mortgages and asset finance solutions to a combination of businesses and individuals.
HTB’s addition means IMLA now has a combined total of 58 full and associate members, spanning banks, building societies, non-bank lenders and mortgage service providers.
The move also follows Louisa Sedgwick’s appointment as deputy managing director at HTB, and she is to be the appointed IMLA representative. Sedgwick was formerly IMLA Chair having stepped down earlier this year, prior to joining HTB.
She said: “We recognise the value IMLA brings to its members and the wider mortgage market, it will be great to be involved going forward as we build out our new mortgage strategy.”
IMLA executive director, Kate Davies, added: “IMLA has long been the voice of a diverse community of lenders and we’re keen to welcome HTB as our latest member. We look forward to hearing their views on a range of industry issues, and the association will no doubt benefit from the bank’s rich knowledge of the specialist lending market.
“Louisa was previously an active member of IMLA and we’re very pleased to see her return. We look forward to welcoming Louisa and the team to our upcoming engagements.”
