"As awareness of our products increases, the appetite among brokers to introduce business to the bank is growing."
Sim joined Gatehouse in October 2017, starting as a business development manager, and prior to that was Islamic finance officer at Ahli United Bank.
In his new role, Sim will work closely with the Bank's BDMs to strengthen relationships with brokers as well as leading the coordination of operations with a number of key broker partners.
Gatehouse launched a commercial property finance proposition in November 2018 and entered the homebuyer market in December with the launch of its first Home Purchase Plan product, a Shariah-compliant alternative to a conventional mortgage.
Faisal Dar, head of specialist home finance, said: “Providing a high level service to a growing number of intermediaries is a key element of our growth strategy, and I am delighted that Sim will be driving this forward.
“Sim’s appointment demonstrates Gatehouse’s ambitious plans for further growth and also highlights the opportunities for employees to progress within the bank as it continues to grow.”
Sim Gill added: “As awareness of our products increases, the appetite among brokers to introduce business to the bank is growing. This is all happening in step with a growing range of products and an increasing public and business profile, so I’m delighted to be given a chance to lead how we work with our growing number of intermediary partners.”
