The short-term lender has seen a huge spike in demand since the Covid-19 lockdown was eased, with enquiries in June up 189% on 2019.
It is now anticipating further growth as new funding lines become available, which will enable the finance provider to offer a wider range of loans to a more diverse customer base.
To back its growth plan, Hope is looking to recruit business development managers, underwriters, and portfolio case managers.

“We are confident that this sustainable growth strategy is set to continue.
“To support this, and to ensure we can continue to provide the fast, flexible service we are renowned for, we are now looking to bring more high-calibre people into the team.
“We will consider speculative applications from experienced, capable candidates with a strong track-record of delivery.”
