Hope Capital has announced that Jemma Wood, pictured, has been promoted to Head of Portfolio Management with effect from today (Thursday 1st October).

Jemma joined Hope Capital last year as a Portfolio Case Manager. In her time with the firm, she has transformed the department, implementing a range of new systems and processes to improve control and efficiency.

Prior to joining Hope Capital, Jemma worked in the insolvency sector for 14 years, with experience of both English and Scottish insolvency legislation.

During this time, she undertook a broad range of roles, ranging from the day-to-day management of insolvency portfolios to managing relationships with introducers and other stakeholders.

Commenting on her promotion, Jemma said:

“This is a really exciting opportunity. I’m really grateful for the support and help I have received from my colleagues at Hope Capital, which will assist me in my success in this new role.”

Jonathan Sealey, CEO of Hope Capital, added:

“Portfolio management is essential to a bridging lender, ensuring that loans are redeemed on time, and working with borrowers and other stakeholders if they run into unforeseen circumstances that need to be managed.

Ever since she came to Hope Capital, Jemma has shown that she has what it takes to communicate effectively with borrowers and deal promptly with any situations that arise.

It’s great to be able to recognise her contribution and to see her take a well-deserved step up.”
