Bridging lender Blue Square Capital has expanded its sales team following huge demand for its ‘unique’ products in its first year of operation.

The London based group, which provides bridging finance and property finance bridging loans for residential and commercial property nationwide, has appointed Daniel Glicksman as Head of Origination, and Shahed Popat as a Senior Business Development Manager to create a three strong sales team.

Daniel, with over 25 years’ experience in Finance and Banking including 16 years at Barclays and working for lenders and brokers said he will bring his vast knowledge, experience, drive and passion to the role.

“I am extremely proud and excited to be leading this team and I feel we can make a real difference,” he said. Shahed added: “I’m delighted to be part of this journey as I see real value in what we have to offer.”

Blue Square, set up in September last year, said the moves had been made to support the increased demand and growth it had seen for its proposition.

It provides 1st and 2nd Charge loans up to 75% Loan to Value (of OMV) in England and Wales with loan sizes from £100,000 to £5,000,000.

“We are operating a back-to-basics, no frills bridging proposition with the main objectives being speed of completion, simple process, and keeping introducers continually informed,” Daniel said.

“Some of the biggest areas of growth are our unique selling points 2nd charge up to 75% LTV and Land with planning up to 75% LTV.”

He added that the group plans to launch “some really exciting products that should further differentiate ourselves from the crowd – so keep your eyes peeled!”. This will potentially include a Green ESG product.

Blue Square Capital has already made its commitment to sustainability clear by moving to a brand-new eco-friendly office in Golders Green, London. It boasts energy saving lights, plants in the office and plenty of natural light.
