Bridgingloans.com appoints Gavin Keepings as Compliance Manager to head-up 'regulatory' division

  • Division supports strict financial legislation to ensure Bridgingloans.com fulfils duty as a responsible lender
  • Provides point of call for client and broker queries and compliance advice following changes to Consumer Credit Act

Bridgingloans.com, a leading UK provider of Bridging Finance solutions, has appointed Gavin Keepings as its new Compliance Manager. He will be the new head of the Compliance Division at Bridgingloans.com, which has been in place since 2004 and ensures that the day-to-day transactions of the company comply with strict FSA regulations and government legislation. He will also act as a point of call for brokers and clients to ensure that Bridgingloans.com is fulfilling its role as a responsible lender - especially since modifications to the Consumer Credit Act 2006 came into effect in April this year.

Gavin Keepings has extensive high-level experience in financial compliance processes. He was previously an independent contractor working with Huntswood Outsourcing where he successfully completed contracts for high profile clients, which included HBOS, L&G, Abbey and Barclays. In addition, he has worked in a compliance role within the Pensions, Investments and Life Assurance sectors of the financial services industry.

"The financial market is going through a vast process of change and we at Bridgingloans.com want to remain confident in our ability to provide clients with the short-term solutions they need," explained Ryneveld van der Horst, Finance Director, Bridgingloans.com. "Appointing Gavin to head up this important division strengthens our position as a completely self-sufficient company - with the in-house resources to regulate and advise on all aspects of the business. Gavin is the ideal candidate for the position not only because of his in-depth experience in the financial market but also his success within a number of previous roles."  

"Bridgingloans.com is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the strong growth in a new and important sector of the finance market," commented Gavin Keepings, Compliance Manager, Bridgingloans.com. "The division not only reassures clients that every possible guideline is being met, but is also a point of contact for brokers so that they can be 100 per cent sure that they too are following controlled processes to the letter. Responsible lending is key right now and new legislation - such as the updated Consumer Credit Act - is in place to help us achieve that."
