Andy Bate who joined the lender in June 2021 and Ryan Peers who joined the business in April 2022, have both been promoted to senior underwriters following demonstrating exceptional performances in their roles. 

Hammad Abbasi has also progressed from underwriting coordinator to an underwriter where he will play a crucial part in making decisions on applications and progressing deals through to completion and helping to further strengthen the business.

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.”
