Specialist buy-to-let and bridging lender, Quantum Mortgages, has promoted Rachel Thomas to head of bridging finance.
Quantum launched its bridging offering in April with a select range of products made available to key specialist intermediaries and trusted introducers.
Following a successful pilot phase and the completion of its online portal, the lender has broadened its product suite to include semi-commercial properties, ex-local authority housing, and properties in Northern Ireland. Its residential investment product has also been extended to support expats and foreign nationals.
Thomas brings a wealth of experience to her new role. Since joining Quantum as an underwriter in September 2024, she has played a pivotal role in developing and launching the bridging proposition. Her previous experience includes senior underwriting positions at Lendco, Octopus Real Estate, and Harrods Bank.
Jason Neale, CEO at Quantum Mortgages, commented: “Rachel’s promotion is thoroughly deserved. She has been instrumental in delivering our bridging product to market and has led the underwriting of our initial completions with exceptional professionalism. Rachel is a highly experienced bridging finance professional with a proven track record of managing a quality underwriting process who will no doubt excel in her new role.”
Rachel Thomas added: “I’m thrilled to lead our bridging division into its next phase. We have been working hard to perfect the proposition and the online customer journey, which now complete, offers a refreshingly simple and transparent alternative to the traditional and outdated way of obtaining short term property finance.”
