Kate Davies, Executive Director of IMLA, commented:
“IMLA has long been the voice of a diverse community of lenders and we’re keen to welcome Hampshire Trust Bank as our latest member. We look forward to hearing their views on a range of industry issues, and the association will no doubt benefit from the bank’s rich knowledge of the specialist lending market. Louisa was previously an active member of IMLA and we’re very pleased to see her return. We look forward to welcoming Louisa and the team to our upcoming engagements.”
