The four appointments follow-on from Aspen’s most successful year-to-date with the lender reporting a 25% increase in its loan book up to the end of January 2025, compared against the previous 12 months.
Jack Coombs, director at Aspen Bridging, commented: “To meet £250m lending in 2025, equating to a further 25% book growth, and even more ambitious plans for 2026 and beyond we must have one of the best teams in the sector.
“The Graduate Recruitment Scheme allows us to take promising young university talent, train them in a comprehensive manner and create the next generation of bridging talent which will ultimately help us achieve our goals.”
