Commenting on his promotion, Richard said he was delighted to be asked to lead the UK business.
“We have grown our UK team significantly over the last year, with new faces in our origination, loan delivery and loan management teams — who are supported by the appointment of several in-house property development specialists with direct industry experience.
“I look forward to continuing to grow the UK business, which will include further recruitment of experienced property lenders to continue to support our introducers and clients.”
Rory Mepham, CEO at Sancus Lending Group, added: “Richard has been key in our recent growth in the UK and his new position coincides with significant increased activity in the business.
“Our aim is to provide the property sector not just with finance, but also with knowledge, support and certainty — characteristics we think will be increasingly important at this stage of the economic cycle.”
