"The decision to grow the team even further is something we’re really passionate about as the new year commences."
- Jonathan Sealey, CEO at Hope Capital
Hope Capital has made a series of key promotions within its sales and underwriting teams.
Charlie Gregory, who previously held the title of business development manager, has now been promoted to senior BDM, where he will continue to support clients in London and the South, while having more involvement in the strategic direction of the sales team and overall business.
Hope Capital’s underwriting department has also seen growth with the announcement of two newly created senior underwriter roles, as well as a new underwriter role. Andy Bate, who joined the lender in June 2021, and Ryan Peers, who joined in April 2022, have both been promoted to senior underwriters.
Hammad Abbasi has also progressed from underwriting cordinator to an underwriter where he will play a key part in making decisions on applications and progressing deals through to completion.
Jonathan Sealey, CEO at Hope Capital, commented: “All of these promotions are thoroughly deserved. Charlie, Andy, and Ryan all know the business inside and out and have shown complete dedication and commitment to their roles. Although Hammad is a more recent appointment, he too has shown a real commitment to the role and company, which is why we have no doubt he is ready to step up to an underwriter position.
“Each promotion will enable us to continue to grow and build even stronger relationships with our brokers, stakeholders, and so forth, as we continue to identify further opportunities for expansion in the market.
“Investing in the team is central to our ethos. Not only have we made a number of promotions in recognition of the hard work and dedication which has been demonstrated, but the decision to grow the team even further is something we’re really passionate about as the new year commences.
“We’re experiencing an extremely successful time as a business, with significant growth in enquiries and completions. By strengthening the team, we hope this will result in us achieving even more milestones in the future.”
