Assetz Capital has appointed Callum Ferguson to lead its expansion in London and the South West. He joins with more than 15 years of experience in real estate and development finance, most recently serving as head of business development at Clearwell Capital.
Ferguson has held senior origination roles at private equity and debt funds since 2015, working across joint ventures, mezzanine and senior development loans for residential, commercial and mixed-use projects.
Andrew Fraser, chief commercial officer at Assetz Capital, said: “London and the South West are core markets for Assetz Capital.
“Callum’s appointment will enable us to build on the £178m of lending and the building of 804 homes we’ve supported in the region – enhancing our long standing commitment to house building. With the ongoing demand for housing nationally not being met, with over 21,000 homes stuck in planning, it is important that we play our part in the cycle by providing access to liquidity for SME developers at the pace and reliability they deserve. We want to play our part to enable housing targets to be hit. We are delighted to have appointed Callum.
“As a proven leader in the development finance space, his expertise and market knowledge will enable us to continue to grow our footprint in London and the South West.”
Ferguson added: “I am delighted to be joining Assetz Capital at such an exciting point in their journey. Their depth of experience and operational excellence is much admired within the industry and I look forward to growing the business’s footprint across London and the South West, providing flexible funding solutions for investors and SME developers across the region.”
