Shawbrook has announced the appointment of Sarah Woolf as the new Senior Regional Development Manager in its Real Estate team.
Sarah originally joined Shawbrook in 2012 “as a Business Development Manager, and in 2016 took on the role of Head of Sales.”
Sarah left Shawbrook in 2019 “to become a broker, helping her gain a wider knowledge and experience of the market and challenges that brokers and their clients face.”
In her new role, Sarah will be “fundamental in strengthening existing, and developing new broker partner relationships across the Midlands to ensure Shawbrook can continue to support its property professional clients.”
Sarah has over 20 years’ experience “in the specialist property market and the contacts she has made in the Midlands will prove invaluable to Shawbrook’s regional development.”
Sarah Woolf, Senior Regional Development Manager at Shawbrook, said:
“Shawbrook is a fantastic place to work, and I am thrilled to have come full circle and be back with the team. My time as a broker has not only strengthened my knowledge of the market and the needs of clients but it also presented me with the opportunity to grow my contacts in the Midlands. This will be invaluable in my new role. I am very much looking forward to working with the sales team, all of whom are passionate about supporting brokers and their clients. It has been incredible to see the scale of growth since I left in 2019, and I am looking forward to playing my part in continuing, and accelerating Shawbrook’s growth.”
Matthew Taylor, National Relationship Manager at Shawbrook, said:
“It’s a testimony to the culture of the business that having gained valuable experience as a broker, Sarah has chosen to return to Shawbrook, and we are delighted to have her back. Her extensive knowledge of both sides of the market makes her the perfect candidate and we look forward to seeing the growth she helps us to achieve in the future.”
