LendInvest to move offices to accommodate increasing team

LendInvest has launched its biggest recruitment drive to date with over 20 new roles available.

The push to hire more staff follows an expansion of its London-based team, where the workforce has doubled to over 60 since January.

The online lender expects this figure to reach 100 by spring 2016, and has already decided to move to a new, larger office in Oxford Circus to accommodate the growth.

LendInvest said it is looking for employees across the business, and has recently advertised for business development managers for its bridging and development finance divisions.

Ian Thomas, Co-founder and Director, said LendInvest is on an established path to extend its market share over the next 24 months.

“Investing in talent now is crucial, as we prepare and cater for that sort of growth in the bridging, development and buy-to-let sectors,” said Ian.

“Being a challenger brand in an established industry appeals hugely to the people who join us and we capitalise on our differences to attract the best talent.

“For instance, all employees get options in the company alongside market-leading salaries; and we encourage the team to enjoy the benefits of a relaxed, collaborative working environment: free breakfast every morning, weekly hot lunches, informal teach-ins, and even a Friday drinks trolley at 4pm sharp.”

Matthew Tooth, Head of Distribution, said it is an exciting time to join LendInvest.

“We look forward to welcoming many new joiners whose professional experience and commitment will contribute towards our performance over the long term,” said Matthew.

LendInvest recently announced a doubling of profit to £3.1m in its second full year of operation.

It has also undergone a major rebrand, hired a new head of distribution and appointed its first head of credit.
