Assetz Capital bolsters north-west business development team with double hire



Assetz Capital has boosted its north-west presence with the appointment of Vincent Ricks and Callum Thompson (pictured above, left to right) as BDMs in the region.


Callum joins from Together where he spent the past two years as a development underwriter, bringing expertise from across the SME market.

Vincent brings more than 15 years’ experience working across business development within the property and mortgage sectors including at Norton Finance.

Callum said: "Having spent two years underwriting deals for SME housebuilders, I've seen first-hand where the process can stall and what developers most need from a funding partner, particularly when timelines are tight and certainty matters most.

“Assetz has already built a reputation as a key specialist in the SME market, supporting developers and unlocking housing across the UK.

“That's why I'm looking forward to applying my knowledge here, working directly with developers across the North West to help bring more schemes to site."

Vincent added: "Fifteen years working across property and mortgage business development has given me a clear picture of the SME housebuilder market and where they need support most, whether that's through funding certainty, timelines, or finding a lender that genuinely understands the market they're operating in.

"Given Assetz's depth of knowledge across the team and its genuine commitment to the SME developer market, it naturally felt like the right fit. I'm looking forward to putting that experience to work across the North West, building relationships with developers and brokers who need a funding partner they can rely on."

Jake Hiskett, new business director at Assetz Capital, said the pair will bring real depth to the north-west team both in terms of market knowledge and their understanding of what SME housebuilders actually need from a funding partner.

He added: “It's this understanding that can make a real difference for housebuilders, providing them with the certainty and pace needed to get developments on site.”

“Their appointments reflect our continued investment in our teams across the UK, ensuring SME developers can access the right support no matter what region they're based in in the UK.

“We're building teams that understand local conditions and be there for developers when they need them most."
