Charles Street Finance Appoints Ibn-Abdul as BDM for Midlands and South West

Charles Street Finance has appointed Amjad Ibn-Abdul as business development manager (BDM) for the Midlands and South West. Ibn-Abdul will be responsible for growing the specialist lender’s regional presence as it continues plans to expand its loan book.

Ibn-Abdul joins Charles Street Finance from London-based lender Lakeshield, where he also served as a business development manager. His previous experience includes roles at mainstream banks such as HSBC, Lloyds, and RBS, as well as positions at commercial brokerage Rainstone Money and lending platform Nester. He has also worked alongside Charles Street’s sales director, Carl Graham, at Tuscan Capital, which is now part of Allica Bank.

In his new role, Ibn-Abdul will focus on expanding Charles Street’s network of intermediaries and direct clients in the Midlands and South West. He will offer a range of commercial finance products, including unregulated bridging loans, commercial and semi-commercial term loans, buy-to-let mortgages, and revolving credit facilities.

Charles Street Finance is aiming to grow its loan book to £1 billion. The appointment is part of the lender’s strategy to strengthen its presence in key regions, including major cities such as Birmingham, the M5 corridor, and South Wales.

This development may be of interest to UK letting agents and inventory clerks seeking commercial finance solutions for clients in the Midlands and South West.
