Chetwood Bank announced the appointment of Alan Cleary as interim director of its mortgage bureau.
Cleary will take over Andrew Arwas’ driving seat, who has resigned.
Cleary has worked in professional loans for more than 30 years and is known for its co-founded Charter Court Financial Services merged with OneSavings Bank (OSB Group) into 2019.
He led the exact mortgage, Kent intermediaries and international commercial brands’ dependencies until he announced his retirement from the industry in 2021.
Arwas was one of the initial founders of the business in 2016 and played a number of roles including head of delivery and company development and director of transformation. As managing director of the Mortgages Bureau, he oversaw the launch of Modamortgages’ claims and the acquisition and integration of CHL mortgages from intermediaries.
Chetwood Bank will name Arwas’ permanent successor when appropriate.
Cleary commented on his appointment: “The vision of Chetwood Bank is to increase the purchase funds in order to get the market and work with brokers to help more landlord clients convince me to retire, so I’m excited to be able to strengthen and help banks guide banks in the next phase of their growth journey.”
