•   Economic uncertainty still biggest threat for business

David commented: “It’s great to become part of an innovative group dedicated to helping the introducer, and the plans that Sam Kirtikar and the team have for the business going forward can only serve to delight the brokers we support, and something I am very excited to be involved with.”

“He is a very determined individual who has a hunger to succeed as he has done so in previous roles.

“We look forward to him helping Clever Lending achieve our goals and maintain our reputation in this field.”
