TAB appoints Gary Melville as BDM for Wales
23 October 2026
TAB has appointed Gary Melville as business development manager for Wales, expanding its regional broker team as it continues to grow its presence across the UK.
Melville joined TAB in December 2025 as an internal BDM, helping brokers structure specialist cases and identify commercial mortgage and bridging finance solutions.
Melville joined TAB after eight months as an internal BDM at Masthaven Finance. Before that, he spent more than four years at West One Loans, working in broker support before moving into sales and working directly with mortgage brokers.
In his new role, Melville will work with brokers across Wales on commercial mortgage and bridging finance solutions for semi-commercial, commercial and residential property deals.
Gary Melville, TAB’s new BDM for Wales, said:
“I’ve spent almost a year at TAB working with brokers on the cases that don’t always fit neatly into a standard lending box. Moving into a BDM role gives me the opportunity to take that experience out to brokers and packagers across Wales and the Swansea, Cardiff, Newport and Shrewsbury areas in particular. I want brokers to know they can pick up the phone, talk through a case and get a clear answer quickly. We thrive on delivering commercial mortgages at bridging speed because we know time that kills deals. If I can give a broker a yes, I want to do it quickly. If I can’t help, they need to know that quickly, too. It’s always my aim to give them the certainty to decide what to do next.”
Michael Grant, head of sales at TAB, said:
“Gary has built a strong understanding of how we approach specialist lending since joining TAB. He knows how to work through the detail of a case and, just as importantly, understands what brokers need from a lender when a deal is moving quickly. Wales is an important market for TAB and Gary is well placed to build stronger relationships with brokers across the region. He has the lending knowledge, broker experience and commercial approach we want from our BDM team and is a valuable asset in our mission to bring momentum to lending. Think Wales, think Gary!”
Founded in 2018 by serial entrepreneur Kreeger, TAB, has lent more than £850 million since launch. The lender secured a £200 million funding line from a challenger bank, announced in September.
