Jess Caton joins Black & White Bridging as Lending Manager

08 June 2023

Specialist lender Black & White Bridging has appointed Jess Caton as Lending Manager to further support their growth plans.

Jess joins from Aspen Bridging where she spent just over a year in an underwriter’s role and will further assist Black & White to complete more short-term loans to support intermediaries and their clients.

The bridging lender, based between Bath and Bristol, has been on a recruitment drive in recent months as the company eyes wider disruption and growth within the specialist finance sector.

Currently celebrating their tenth year in business, Black & White has made Jess their fifth appointment since May, adding an extra third of capacity to the team. This comes at a time when the business has doubled its total lending within the last two years and is keen to expand its operation further in 2023 and beyond.

Oliver Bland, Director of Lending at Black & White, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Jess to Black & White, despite being in the early stages of her career, she will bring both energy and experience along with new ideas on how we can improve our lending capability. We're growing with ever accelerating velocity and as such, Jess's appointment will only enhance our ability to execute a greater number of transactions for our valued brokers and borrowers alike.”
