Daniel Austin, co-founder and CEO of ASK, said: “This is a senior, strategic hire for ASK and we are delighted to have Joshua on board. With our current total lent now at over £625m, his role will be key to further growing our loan book, expanding our diverse funding pool for larger ticket deals and increasing our ability to structure bespoke and complex funding solutions for experienced property developers and investors.”
