Hilco Real Estate Finance (HREF) has strengthened its team with the appointment of Charlie Job (pictured), who will assist the specialist real estate lender as it builds its presence nationwide.
With over five years’ experience across real estate, credit and M&A, Job joined HREF, part of Hilco Global, as an associate.
He started his career at NatWest Markets before joining Arrow Global where he worked on numerous distressed and special situations credit and equity investments across Europe, as well as several key strategic platform acquisitions for the fund manager.
Job said: “This is a great opportunity to help grow a dynamic, new division which benefits from the backing of a world-renowned financial services group.
“I already know a number of members of the team and like the business’ flexible approach to lending.
“In such a fast-growing market, I believe that HREF’s ability to provide loans rapidly, even in complex situations and at the £10m-plus level, will see it quickly gain momentum.”
Andrew Ward, managing director at HREF, added: “With his strong track record of working in special situations investments and private credit, Charlie is a valuable addition as we seek to build out the team across the UK.
“Since launching last summer, HREF has got off to a flying start with businesses in a diverse range of sectors seeking bespoke loans from a reliable lender who is willing to look beyond the usual lending criteria.”
