Glenhawk has revealed that it has appointed Josh Knight to the position of managing director, sales & marketing, as he joins the lender from Octane Capital. This news comes after Glenhawk has spent the last few months increasing its national sales team.

Josh spent over eight years as sales and marketing director at Octane, with senior management responsibility for origination and marketing. Before this, Josh spent seven years in the investment sales market. 

Josh will lead the sales, marketing and product teams and have responsibility for the company’s commercial strategy. 

Andrew Townsend, CEO at Glenhawk, said: "We are delighted to welcome Josh to the team. Josh is well respected and connected in our market, and we have been impressed with his strategic approach.

"Over the last three months, we have been focused on building out our national sales team, which now comprises of six field-based and four internal BDMs, the largest it’s been since Glenhawk was founded. With the talent we have in the team, and under Josh’s leadership, we are confident in consolidating our position as one of the leaders in the sector."

Josh Knight commented: "I am so excited to take on this role. Glenhawk have long been a company I have admired. The breadth of the proposition across most deal types and asset classes means we can support brokers in almost all bridging scenarios, which is a salesperson’s dream.

"To be able to lead a highly regarded team who have already captured impressive market share is a source of great pride for me. I have a clear vision of what I want us to achieve, and I’m looking forward to getting started."
