“With the business entering a scale-up growth phase I’m confident that my contacts and experience in the property development sector can make a difference.   

“I’m particularly looking forward to getting out on-site, meeting borrowers and helping them to deliver their projects successfully.”

Andrew Gardiner, co-founder and director at Saxon Trust, added: “This is the first of a series of key appointments we are looking to make as we gear up for 2022 and beyond. 

“We are ending the year with a strong pipeline of cases and with Nick working closely with our brokers and getting out onsite to meet and proactively assist developers, we will be looking to maximise these opportunities and bring many more deals on board.”
