CHL Mortgages has appointed Shaun Persaud as its new business development manager (BDM) for Essex and East Anglia.

Persaud’s appointment strengthens the broker support CHL Mortgages provides in the region and brings the number of BDMs in its sales team to six.

Persaud joins CHL Mortgages from Omega Commercial Solutions, where he worked as a broker. He previously worked as a commercial broker at Go Finance and as a mortgage broker at Taylor Rose Financial Services, as well as a spell as a financial advisor.

Persaud said he was excited about showing brokers how CML Mortgages could help them to grow their businesses.

“I feel like my whole career has been building up to this point,” he commented. “I’m really looking forward to taking my previous experiences and things I’ve learnt along the way and applying them to a BDM role,” he said.

“I can’t wait to get out there, start building relationships and helping brokers grow their business with CHL Mortgages.”

CHL Mortgages’ Commercial Director Ross Turrell added: “Shaun brings a wealth of knowledge to the position which he’s gained from working in a number of different roles in financial services.

“It’s this well-rounded experience which will stand him in good stead and which I’m sure will go down very well with brokers looking for support with placing their cases.”
