Tony Gilbertson has been confirmed as CEO having served on an interim basis for the past six months, during which time he oversaw Signature’s best ever half-year period.
The Birmingham-based firm is majority owned by funds managed by Cabot Square Capital LLP.
Tarun Sharma, partner at Cabot Square Capital, said: “Tony is a very capable and experienced financier.
“He not only demonstrates a strong understanding of every aspect of short-term property finance, but has practical experience of property development.

“Signature’s loan book has trebled in the first half of 2016, we expect great things from Signature in the years ahead and are confident Tony and his team will deliver the growth needed.”
The announcement comes less than a month after the appointment of Daniel Powers as its business development manager for the North of England.
Tony added: “Shaping the future of the business is important, but I never lose sight of the need to analyse every deal carefully and deliver quick decisions to our clients [as] this is a time-sensitive business.
“There are no special tricks to growing a business like Signature; it’s just a matter of delivering a range of products tailored to the needs of our clients and making pragmatic decisions quickly.
“It is clear, brokers and clients like what we do and the way we do it.”
