In his new role, Daniel will focus on supporting HTB’s key accounts while building relationships with new brokers. He will help brokers navigate HTB’s tailored bridging solutions and processes, ensuring they receive expert support throughout.

HTB continues to invest in its bridging proposition to deliver tailored solutions and consistent support to brokers and their clients. Recent enhancements, including the introduction of a Heavy Refurbishment product and dual representation, reflect the bank’s commitment to simplifying processes and improving outcomes. To further support brokers, HTB has also created new Business Development Executive roles, ensuring brokers benefit from a consistent point of contact.
