“[Jamie’s] considerable knowledge of the Scottish housebuilding and developer market will be key to Pluto quickly establishing a presence here,” said Justin Faiz, CEO at Pluto Finance.

“He will enable us to quickly deploy capital from our main fund and from Scottish investors that will be partially ring-fenced for deployment in Scotland, enabling us to help finance the much-needed building of affordable homes here.”

Jamie added: “Pluto’s approach will ensure local capital is used for local housebuilding thereby benefitting local supply chains and creating jobs in Scotland. I am looking forward to working with Pluto to establish the franchise in Scotland.”
