The Bridging & Development Lenders Association (BDLA) has confirmed the appointment of three new members to its executive board.
Following a recent election process across its lender and associate membership, two lender representatives and one associate member are set to fill vacancies created by retiring directors who have reached the end of their terms.
The newly elected board members are Claire Newman from Masthaven Finance, Sam Howard from Magnet Capital and Christopher Taylor from Westcor International.
All three started their positions on the executive board on 1 April.
Chief executive officer at the BDLA, Adam Tyler, stated: "It is extremely encouraging to see such strong engagement in this election process. I’m delighted to welcome Claire, Sam and Christopher to the executive board and look forward to working with them as the BDLA continues to support members, promote high standards and represent the sector.
"I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to the retiring Executive Board members, Scott Marshall and Gavin Seaholme, for their outstanding support and service to the BDLA. Their contribution to the association has been significant, and I am personally very grateful for their encouragement and guidance."
