Keystone promotes Harding to national account manager
Keystone Property Finance has promoted James Harding to national account manager.
Harding will work alongside commercial director Steve Griffiths and will be responsible for managing relationships with Keystone Property Finance’s network and mortgage club partners.
Harding moves from his current role as business development manager (BDM) for the East Midlands. Tom Lawry has since taken on a newly created Midlands BDM role.
Harding said: “Working closely with brokers in the Midlands has given me a strong understanding of the support they look for from a specialist lender like Keystone. I’m looking forward to bringing that experience to my new role and, in doing so, building on the great relationships we already have with our distribution partners.
“My focus is on taking their priorities on board and acting on them, while working with Steve and the wider team to help their members make the most of Keystone’s proposition.”
Griffiths said: “James knows our business well and he understands the challenges brokers face when placing specialist buy-to-let cases. That experience will be priceless in helping our partners support their members to identify how we can add value to their businesses and I am looking forward to working alongside him in his new post.”

Keystone Property Finance has also augmented the roles of some of its internal BDMs.
Cathy Fuller has taken on responsibility for supporting brokers across the South West, and Ruby Wilson will support wider geographical areas not covered within the current scope of Keystone Property Finance’s field BDM structure.
Griffiths added: “Tom’s wider remit and Cathy and Ruby’s additional responsibilities will also give brokers a clear point of contact across these areas. Taken together, these changes draw on the knowledge within our team to provide the accessible, practical support brokers and partners need and expect from us.”
