“This board contains a huge amount of experience across all the necessary aspects of short-term property finance to not only bring deals together, but to develop new products and services that reflect the changing needs of our clients.
“We have a short decision process for deals and product development — if it works for our clients and gives them a competitive advantage in the market, then we’re prepared to create, develop and release products to market quickly.”
Signature’s first new product is expected to be out later this month.
“With the vaccines being rolled out and the post-Brexit economy performing better than predicted, we’re optimistic about the property sector in 2021 and will ensure our clients have the tools to take advantage,” he stated.
David Hughes, finance director at Signature Property Finance, commented: “This enhanced management team spreads the responsibility and makes sure we are agile and more responsive to the demands of our clients.”
