Redwood Bank has welcomed the return of a senior business development figure, attracted back by the progress the bank has recently made as well as its direction of travel.
Chris Finnigan has rejoined Redwood’s business development team following a short period away from the organisation, having previously spent more than eight years at the bank during its early growth.
Finnigan (pictured) says: “Seeing Redwood’s progress from the outside made it clear that the changes weren’t cosmetic. The proposition has evolved in ways that genuinely support brokers, with greater flexibility, clearer decisions and confidence in dealing with complex cases.
“Combined with the ambition for 2026, that made returning an easy decision.”
Recent enhancements include more competitive specialist lending across residential buy-to-let, HMOs, semi-commercial and commercial mortgages.
The bank has also introduced a more streamlined Decision in Principle process for residential buy-to-let investment cases, offering brokers earlier clarity and greater certainty within the transaction.
Gary Wilkinson, Redwood Bank CEO, adds: “We’ve been very deliberate in listening to brokers and turning their feedback into real action and change. The strength of our proposition today reflects that focused approach.
“Chris’s return brings very extensive experience and expertise to the business and is a powerful endorsement of the direction we’re taking and the momentum we’re building.”
Finnigan will focus on supporting brokers across the North West.
