GB Bank Appoints Asim Shirwani to Lead New Bridging Team
GB Bank has appointed Asim Shirwani as head of bridging to lead its newly established bridging team. Shirwani brings nearly 20 years of experience in both bank and non-bank lending, with expertise in short-term bridging finance and longer-term property finance structures.
Shirwani has previously held senior roles at Hilco Real Estate Finance, Cynergy Bank, Lendhub, and Metro Bank. In his new position at GB Bank, he will focus on expanding the bank’s bridging business, supporting the wider lending proposition, and strengthening relationships across the intermediary market.
The new specialist bridging team will also include Victoria Mahy, who has joined as business development manager. Mahy brings experience in specialist finance and a track record of supporting intermediaries with complex transactions.
This development may be of interest to UK letting agents and inventory clerks who work with clients seeking bridging finance solutions for property transactions.
