"Their regional expertise will help us offer a local service to brokers, while helping to build long term, trusted and personal relationships."

Samantha joins from Castle Trust, where she looked after the Midlands and the North.

Michelle joins from Together, where she raised brand and product awareness amongst intermediaries in the South West. Prior to Together, Michelle worked at Barclays for over 10 years in several different operational and sales roles.

With 10 years’ experience in financial services, Chris also joins from Together, where he covered the Midlands region.

D’mitri Zaprzala, head of sales at Octopus Property, commented: “Recruiting and retaining the industry’s brightest talent is vital for Octopus, and we’re pleased to welcome these three new BDMs to the business. Their regional expertise will help us offer a local service to brokers, while helping to build long term, trusted and personal relationships.

“We pride ourselves in not having any geographical limits or quotas that stop us from lending in specific areas, and this is aligned with the growing demand we are seeing from borrowers outside of London.

“Samantha, Michelle and Chris all have an in depth understanding of what is driving local markets, and we’re confident they’ll help us expand and strengthen our intermediary network as we target £1bn of lending over the next 12 months.”
