Peritus Corporate Finance has welcomed Gordon Clements as a consultant.

He will be managing the Gerald Eve Corporate Finance (a JV with Peritus) relationship through Gerald Eve’s offices in Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow, as well as managing new client relationships.

Gordon — who is a qualified banker and has over 34 years of experience in corporate finance and real estate lending — joins the brokerage from Santander Corporate, where he has covered both Liverpool and Chester since 2012.


In real estate, Gordon has significant experience in funding development schemes, including offices, retail units, residential apartment blocks and industrial asset classes. 

Many developments funded by him are evident in the north west of England.

The investment assets funded by Gordon include offices, hotels, industrial units, retail schemes and residential. 

Over time, this has included a number of fund management platforms. 

“After a career on the lending side sourcing and arranging finance for my customers, I am excited to move to a dedicated advisory role — and the Peritus brand and [its] professionalism will be well received by my clients,” Gordon commented.

Darren Baker, CEO at Peritus, added: “We are delighted to welcome Gordon on board who brings a wealth of experience to the table and [will help] us expand the Peritus offering in the Northern Powerhouse and Scotland.”
