“I couldn’t be more pleased to be welcoming Jarrod, Michael, Ricky and Ciaran to our team,” said Mark Standley, national commercial director at Assetz Capital.
“They bring with them a huge amount of experience and knowledge – all of which will be incredibly important in hitting our ambitious growth targets in supporting small and medium sized businesses and house builders.
“As we move back to relative normality in the market but are seeing banks reduce their lending to small- and medium-sized enterprise businesses, our real-world approach to lending is more important than ever.
“Whether it’s commercial mortgages, development finance or bridging, we’re committed to finding solutions that really deliver for both our borrowers and brokers.”
