Hilco Real Estate Finance (HREF) has been accepted as a patron lender of the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB).
Having met the NACFB’s entry criteria and become a patron lender, HREF will be able to network with the association’s commercial finance community which includes more than 2,500 brokers from over 1,100 member firms.
Sean Adams, managing director of HREF, said: “NACFB membership is a badge of quality with the association bringing together finance brokers, lenders and suppliers to the commercial finance broking industry, all of whom operate to a high standard.
“While part of a long-established global financial services group, HREF UK is fairly new to the UK short-term property lending market and, as a specialist lender acting across a broad range of real estate market sectors, we are keen to build and enhance relationships with quality commercial finance brokers nationwide.
“This is an ideal opportunity to raise awareness of our flexible approach to lending and our ability to think ‘outside the box’.
“Renowned within the sector, the NACFB provides a friendly, supportive community and we are looking forward to taking an active role within it.”
Norman Chambers, managing director of NACFB, added: “We are are always keen to develop strong relationships with patrons, and I have no doubt that HREF’s solutions will be widely welcomed by members looking for real estate finance solutions for their clients.
“Last year our members facilitated more than £38 billion in lending to UK SMEs with three quarters (73%) of the total transaction value originating from property-related sectors.
“The fact that HREF’s offering covers the whole of the UK and all sectors will be particularly popular.”
