Mr Hyde has over a decade’s experience working in property, with eight years’ working as a Securities Specialist, looking after mortgage clients based in Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man, plus two years’ as a property sales negotiator, representing vendors marketing and selling properties.

Mr Hyde said: “This is an exciting time to be working with Skipton International. The company offers some of the most competitive products in the market, and this, coupled with Skipton’s strong focus on excellent customer service, has seen it quickly become one of the largest providers of residential mortgages in the island.”

Mr Hyde will be working alongside Jersey Mortgage Sales Manager Lorraine McLean.

Ms McLean said: “We are delighted to welcome Paul to the team. He has a wealth of experience in mortgages, and in property sales, which gives him a solid understanding of the property market in Jersey.

"Our business in Jersey has been growing steadily and Paul’s appointment will help us to meet the strong demand we are seeing for Skipton International mortgages in the Island.”

The Channel Island-registered bank launched its mortgages in Jersey in 2005 and since then has grown to be one of the Island’s largest providers of residential mortgages, recently reaching £500 million of loans.
