Assetz hiring spree continues with new business development director
Assetz Capital has appointed Jason Way as business development director, as the peer-to-peer lending platform continues to expand its originations team.
Way (pictured) was previously head of client relationships at The Route Finance. Prior to that he spent five years as a director at Capitalwest, where he facilitated strategic partnerships for borrowers and lenders in the property development sector.
“I’m delighted to be joining Assetz at such a pivotal time in the growth journey,” said Way.
“The team’s positive outlook on lending and the strong relationships that they hold with intermediaries and borrowers across the UK are what drew me here.
“I can’t wait to get started and to take Assetz ‘real world lending’ ethos to the housebuilder market.”

“Jason’s experience as a strong a relationship builder and excellent knowledge of the primary housebuilding market will ensure that he fits well into our origination team,” added Mark Standley, national commercial director of Assetz Capital.
“We have incredibly ambitious targets this year, and no doubt he will play a key role in helping us to achieve them.”
Way’s appointment comes as Assetz “supercharges” the growth of its origination business to meet growing demand.
Earlier this year, Assetz hired two new relationship directors in the Merseyside and the Northwest. And late last year, Assetz Capital hired Adam Bluma as a relationship director to its bridging and intermediaries portfolio team, and added four relationship directors to its origination team.
