Hertfordshire-based second charge firm Spring Finance has expanded its team with the appointment of Graeme Wade and Martin Binns.

Wade, who has 13 years experience in the industry, joins as a BDM and was previously regional account manager with Swift Group and in the sales liaison department at GE Money.

He will work across the whole of the UK, visiting new and existing brokers to train them on the products and assist them with their packaging.

Binns, who has 12 years experience in financial services, joins the underwriting team.

Stuart Epstein, CEO of Spring Finance, said: “We are delighted that Graeme and Martin have joined Spring Finance.

“They will play an important role in improving customer service and we will look to expand our team further as Spring Finance grows.”

Wade added: “I am looking forward to working with brokers across the UK and to develop Spring Finance’s relationship with them.

“We are a flexible lender and our aim is to empower our brokers so that they understand that if a borrower fits the loan criteria, then the loan will complete.

“The company has a very good reputation within the industry and my aim is to build on that.”
