Redwood Bank

The Redwood Bank team marked World Mental Health Day with a breakfast get-together to discuss this year’s theme, “It’s time to prioritise mental health in the workplace”. This year’s subject is particularly relevant to us here at Redwood, and something we’re proud to have been practising for some time. Our Health and Wellbeing Ambassadors hosted this morning’s breakfast sessions in our Letchworth and Warrington offices, allowing everyone to spend some time together discussing mental health within the workplace. The session finished with a couple of interactive games to round off a fantastic start to the day at both Redwood offices.

Redwood Bank is always looking to strengthen its team, and we’ve recently added a new face from Down Under with the arrival of our new ESG manager, Alex John. We have demonstrated commitment to our ESG objectives in recent years through a series of initiatives, including the launch of a special Green Reward for landlords, as well as a number of volunteering projects with local organisations. Alex arrives at Redwood following an impressive banking career in Australia, where he spent time in roles within business development, product development, risk, strategy and ESG. We’d like to welcome Alex to not only Redwood but also the UK following his move from Sydney to London.   To read more about Alex’s arrival, follow the link below: https://lnkd.in/efMJnHqd #ESG #welcome #banking

Redwood Bank is passionate about championing and supporting its local community, and that has continued with our ongoing support of Histon Football Club for the 2024/25 campaign.

We’ll also be acting as match sponsors for a game during the campaign. We’re sending all our support to the men’s and women’s teams this season! Here’s hoping for a successful season for the whole club. To read more about our continued partnership, follow the link below: https://bit.ly/3Ydm5Qc ⚽ #HistonFC #community

Now the season becomes really interesting. The Redwood team will be back at the Halliwell Jones Stadium tomorrow evening to cheer on the Warrington Wolves in their huge play-off eliminator against St Helens. It’s been a fantastic season so far, so here’s hoping the lads can keep it going tomorrow. #WarringtonRL #AllForTheWire

The smell of cakes and coffee filled the air as the Redwood team came together for a Macmillan Coffee Morning. As well as a chance to spend some time together as a team to start the day and enjoy some wonderful homemade cakes and cookies, it was also a fantastic opportunity to raise vital funds to support the amazing work being done by Macmillan Cancer Support. Thanks to everyone who brought in their delicious treats, and to everyone who donated. ☕🍰

If you haven’t checked out the latest issue of The Intermediary, you’re missing out. This month’s magazine features a fantastic interview with our very own Chief Commercial Officer John Eastgate. From how organisations such as Redwood can punch above their weight when competing with the bigger banks, to looking at the current state of the buy-to-let market, and a lot more, this is a fascinating look at the growing importance of specialist buy-to-let lending.

“We understand not all cases are black and white, for example we bring the skills and experience of the applicant into our risk assessment, as well as the strength of the asset or the length of any leases in place.” Our Business Development Manager Ian Tudor featured on an expert panel in a Commercial Mortgage Special issue of Positively Speaking from Positive Lending. Ian joined some fellow industry experts to provide his insight into the current trends and opportunities in commercial mortgages, including how Redwood Bank’s human touch influences how we approach individual cases.

It’s the final round of the regular season for Warrington Wolves this evening and what a season it’s been. The play-offs are still to come for the men, but we want to send our congratulations to Sam Burgess, the squad, and the whole Wolves organisation for an incredible 2024 campaign. We also want to send a massive well done to Armani Sharrock and the Warrington Women's squad for their spirit and togetherness at the end of a tough season. It’s a genuine honour to be involved in such a proud and well-run institution, and we’ve taken great pleasure in seeing how much the town has backed both the men’s and women’s teams all season. We’ll be at the Halliwell Jones this evening to cheer the boys on and hopefully see us end the regular season with a bang. #WarringtonWolves
