Black & White Bridging strengthens team to support continued growth

19 March 2026

Black & White Bridging has strengthened its team with three new sales and relationship management appointments.

The lender has welcomed Matt Yates as Relationship Director, with Sam Warren and Danyal Hussein as Relationship Managers.

The hires form part of the lender’s wider growth strategy, with Black & White Bridging continuing to invest in its team, future talent and infrastructure to support brokers and borrowers in an evolving specialist finance market where speed, certainty and clarity of decision-making are increasingly vital.

Yates brings more than a decade of business-to-business sales experience within financial services. His experience includes roles at NatWest and Platform, plus at OSB Group, where as a Specialist Finance Account Manager he developed strong intermediary relationships and deep knowledge of the mortgage and property finance sectors.

Warren most recently worked as a Property Finance Consultant at FinSpace. Prior to this, he worked as a Specialist Mortgage Advisor with When The Bank Says No, supporting clients with complex lending requirements and specialist property finance solutions.

Hussein joins the lender as Relationship Manager, undertaking his first full role in the sector after spending time working in the family brokerage business. He’s already developed a strong understanding of how brokers operate and what clients need, and now steps into his first full-time role ready to make an impact.

The appointments reflect Black & White Bridging’s continued growth, providing young people with a platform to succeed, and its commitment to strengthening its team to meet increasing broker demand across the specialist property finance sector.

Damien Druce, Chief Operating Officer at Black & White Bridging, said:

"Demand for specialist property finance continues to grow as borrowers and brokers look for certainty and speed in an increasingly complex lending environment.

Strengthening our team with experienced professionals, while continuing to invest in developing young talent, ensures we are well positioned to support the market, maintain our five-star service levels and deliver clear, reliable funding solutions as our lending activity continues to grow across the UK."
