Nucleus Commercial Finance hires business development director for new property proposition

In his new role, he will help develop a new property proposition for Nucleus, to sit alongside the lender’s current offering.

Andy has over 30 years of experience in the specialist finance industry.

He joins from Santander, where he worked as relationship director for real estate — in this role, he was responsible for a portfolio of 140 real estate clients across the Midlands and South West division for Santander Business.

Prior to this, he worked at Barclays as head of the corporate team for Herefordshire and Worcestershire, and HSBC as senior relationship manager.

Commenting on his appointment, Andy said: “At a time when many businesses are looking for alternative sources of funding, I’m excited to work with Nucleus to help it expand its offering to its network of brokers, introducers and ultimately their clients.”

He added that he was looking forward to being able to use his extensive industry experience to “shape a new proposition” and further develop Nucleus’ property product suite.

Chirag Shah, CEO at Nucleus Commercial Finance, commented: “With CBILS soon coming to an end, many businesses will be looking for secured longer-term lending, and Andy’s appointment is testament to our commitment to this part of the market. 

“Andy brings many years of industry experience, having worked at several of the biggest players and he will be central in supporting the growth of our property finance product."
