“Our customers and our team will hugely benefit from his expertise, and I personally look forward to working alongside Tom to help drive the business through the next phase.”

Justin Trowse, managing director at Mortimer Street Capital, added: “I’ve known Tom for many years and am delighted that he’s chosen to join us and build upon the undoubted success of the group.

“Mortimer Street Capital is a relatively young business, but we have big ambitions to be the go-to advisory firm in our market and the addition of Tom to help lead the team is another step towards this.”

Tom commented: “After over 20 years in real estate finance within lenders, I feel it is the perfect time to move to the advisory side of the market.

“Having known and worked closely with Hiten and Justin for over nine years, I have seen the business evolve first-hand and I’m incredibly excited to drive further growth.”
