Hope Capital appoints new BDM underwriter and The MAD Approach

By Bridging Loan Directory 13th February 2018

Hope Capital has started the year with the appointment of both a key new member of staff and a consultant to help accelerate its growth plans. Last year Hope Capital grew by almost 50% and it intends to achieve at least the same in 2018.

Hope kick started 2018 by offering its best ever rates. Hope implemented a reduction of its rates to 0.99% with LTVs of up to 75%, although this may be extended for the right borrower under the right circumstances. The new appointments are the next part of the strategy to surpass its previous growth plans.

Hope Capital has created a crucial new role, that of BDM combined with underwriter, to which it has appointed Tracey North. Tracey brings with her a wealth of experience gained during her career with NatWest, which included over 13 years as a Senior Relationship Manager. She specialised in organising finance for customers who want to build and expand their investment portfolios.

Hope Capital created the role BDM underwriter to streamline the process for brokers. In Tracey they have appointed someone who completely understands what brokers and their clients want and need and can help to deliver those loans in exceptional time frames. This will speed up turnaround times and help to continually enhance Hope Capital’s service.

In addition, Hope Capital has appointed Alan and Mel Dring of The MAD Approach to support its ambitious growth plans. The MAD Approach inspires and helps businesses to become the best they can possibly be, to achieve growth and stand out against competitors and will be working with Hope Capital to help it achieve even more exceptional results.

Jonathan Sealey, CEO of Hope Capital said:

“We started the new year with a bang with some of the lowest rates we have ever offered and the appointment of key people to help with our expansion plans. We achieved exceptional growth last year and will be moving into expanded office space as a result; now we want to build on this momentum. Key to us is to ensure that brokers and their clients get the loans that they want, in way and the timescales that they need. If we continue to get this right then Hope Capital itself continues to grow exponentially. Our latest appointments will undoubtedly help us to provide that exceptional level of service and continue our ambitious growth plans.”

Alan Dring, director of The MAD Approach said:

“We have a track record over many years of helping companies to grow, particularly in the short-term lending and bridging space. We will be bringing all that experience to bear, working in collaboration with Jonathan, his team and Hope Capital’s major stakeholders, to help them to develop their proposition and distribution channels and to continue their recent very encouraging growth rate.”

“Hope Capital is an exciting business with a huge amount of potential. I hope to make a significant difference in this strategic role, making things easier both for brokers and their clients, so there is never a reason not to come to Hope Capital for their bridging loan requirements.”
