On his appointment, Steve, pictured, said:

“Assetz Capital has a truly entrepreneurial approach to lending. The ability to think outside the box and provide unique forms of finance is the reason Assetz has such a strong reputation in the market, and as a result, the client base is growing at a rapid rate. I’m looking forward to working with Damien and the team as we continue to help ambitious companies in the North West and North East.”

“In a period of rapid growth for the company, it’s key that we continue to hire quality RDs to handle the growing influx of enquiries we receive. Steve’s experience in the property finance space speaks volumes about his ability, and we’re confident he will have a huge impact at Assetz Capital.”
