“Clearly we wouldn’t be where we are without the support of the broker community and we look forward to continuing to serve it."

Jonathan Samuels, chief executive at Octane Capital, added: “We launched Octane with a vision of shaking up the specialist finance sector and hopefully — with our productless approach to lending — we have managed to achieve that.”

Jordan McBriar, managing director at Adapt Finance, claimed that Octane had “revolutionised” the specialist property finance market.

Nimesh Sanghrajka, managing director at Mantra Capital, also added: “Jonathan, Mark, Matt [Smith, director of credit] and the team are extremely experienced, and we look forward to completing more deals with them in the future.”
