New Case Manager – Peter Leonard

  We are very pleased to announce the addition to the Operations team of Peter Leonard who will be employed as a senior case manager. Peter will be a great addition to the growing team, bringing in specialist banking knowledge and a wealth of experience in the commercial and residential property sector. If not already, we are sure a lot of you will be speaking to Peter about your clients and cases so rather than speak on his behalf we thought it best to let him introduce himself to the network.. Resume “Prior to joining Brokerplan my roles were as a Commercial Lending Manager with over 36-years of experience within the corporate/commercial Banking sector, 29 years of which were spent working for Lloyds Bank. During this time, I successfully completed the professional banking exams becoming an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Bankers in 1990. In 2011 I joined Handelsbanken as a Corporate Manager, establishing a new office in Wetherby, West Yorkshire. Immediately prior to joining Brokerplan I worked for 4-years as a Real Estate Lending Manager at Aldermore, specialising in complex Buy to Let, Commercial Investment and Commercial Owner Occupier proposals. My initial responsibilities will be to concentrate on those real estate/property transactions for investment and owner occupiers but I will of course be there to assist with all forms of business lending. Personally, I am married to Sarah and have no children, but do have a 30-month  English Springer Spaniel who requires a lot of exercise!! In my spare time, I enjoy walking (with the dog), travelling, and generally keeping fit having completed a number of half marathons as well as undertaking a number of Triathlons in the past. I enjoy watching most sport but especially Rugby Union. I look forward to working with all of the Authorised Representatives within the White Rose Finance Group in assisting them to help meet their client’s financial needs/requirements.”
