The Association of Short Term Lenders has elected its new executive committee which will take office with immediate effect…

Five new members will join the committee while former member Allan Kay, Managing Director of Alternative Bridging, continues his membership.

“The ASTL is continuing to go from strength to strength and I am once again looking forward to contributing to its achievements in the bridging sector,” said Allan.

The new committee will consist of:

·         Brian West, Head of Sales at Central Bridging

·         Keith Aldridge, Managing Director of Amicus PLC

·         Jon Hall, Director of Masthaven

·         Jonathan Sealey, CEO and founder of Hope Capital

·         Scott Marshall, Lending Director at Roma Finance.

Benson Hersch, Chief Executive of ASTL, said he was confident the new committee’s experience and knowledge would continue to build on the success it has made in recent years.

“Having new committee members will help to inject a new perspective into the ASTL, bringing fresh ideas and impetus,” said Benson.

“The six appointed committee members aim to improve the level of support the trade body provides its members, help to further increase the association’s profile and assist in raising the high standards of the bridging industry.”

Benson also thanked last year’s members; Andrew Bloom, Steve Marsh, Mark Posniak, Alan Margolis and Wyn Morrell who all helped continue to drive the association forward, as well as thanking Allan Kay for his continued support.
