Specialist property lender Glenhawk has announced the appointment of Sophie Watson as portfolio manager, effective immediately.
Watson joins Glenhawk’s 21-strong team from Octopus Property, and will be based in London. She reports to Nick Hilton, head of lending.
'Sophie is talented and ambitious and will play a key role in helping us deliver on our customer-centric ethos and she joins at an exciting time, as we continue to explore new ways to expand our business offering and further elevate ourselves above the peer group,' said Guy Harrington, CEO of Glenhawk.
Since launching in January 2018, Glenhawk has lent over £50 mln across 87 loans with a total gross asset value of £103 mln, according to the firm. It has also completed a total of £15.1 mln of redemptions, equating to 30 loans at an average length of 10 months, with zero loan defaults or capital losses.
'Following the launch of our free valuation offering initiative, the business continues to perform strongly,' said Harrington. 'The amount of enquiries we are originating is growing month on month, highlighting the continued appeal of investing in UK real estate.'
Watson’s previous roles include property servicing assistant at Octopus Property, redemptions officer at Amicus Finance, and collections & litigations agent at The North View Group.
