Masthaven Secured Loans announces key management hire

20 January 2016

Masthaven Secured Loans (MSL), has announced the key appointment of Shelley Connelly as underwriting manager.

With a career spanning 12 years in secured lending, Shelley has held key positions in both intermediary and lending businesses. This started at Central Loans before moving to Prestige Finance in 2004 as Senior Underwriter. Further promotion saw Shelley playing a key role in the relaunch of Prestige Finance, after its acquisition by OneSavings Bank in 2012.

Andrew Bloom Director of MSL said, “MSL has already built up a reputation for its professionalism and ability to understand and complete on even the most complex and challenging cases. As we continually seek to improve and evolve, we are delighted to have someone of Shelley’s calibre join us to lead the underwriting team. Her pedigree is second to none and I have no doubt our service to introducers will further develop as Masthaven continues to build its presence in the secured lending sector.”

Shelley Connelly commented, “MSL has become an important player in the secured lending intermediary market and I am looking forward to bringing my experience to bear in order to further develop our underwriting capability. The industry faces exciting challenges this year and my goal is to ensure that from an underwriting perspective MSL is able to deliver a service which will be beneficial for clients and makes our introducers want to use us again and again.”
