Assetz Capital has expanded the business with the addition of Mark Roberts to lead the growth of its development finance arm.
Roberts’ remit will also focus on the expanding North West market.
He rejoins the business having previously been a relationship director at Assetz Capital for over three years.
Andrew Charnley, managing director at Assetz Capital, said: “The North West remains a core market for Assetz Capital given our location and long standing commitment to house building.
“With the ongoing demand for housing nationally and in the North West 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 small and medium (SME) developers at the pace and reliability they deserve.
“As a proven leader in the development finance space, [Roberts’] expertise and market knowledge will enable us to continue to grow our footprint both nationally and in the North West.”
Roberts added: “It is great to be back at Assetz where I can use my expertise to sculpt development deals in a way that suits both borrowers and brokers’ needs.
“With the depth of liquidity and experience within the Assetz team, this is an exciting time to be back with the business to help grow our development book further.”
