Glenhawk grows team with LendInvest hire following strong start to 2017

Glenhawk, the recently launched specialist property lender, is further expanding its business into the UK regions with the appointment of Steve Smith as business development manager for the South West, effective immediately.

The appointment follows Glenhawk’s recent £75m funding line to support growth and the successful launch of its no legal or survey fee incentive.

Reporting directly to the company’s director of lending, Nick Hilton, Smith will be responsible for building Glenhawk’s loan book exposure in the South West of England, one of the UK’s strongest performing UK property regions for both residential and commercial investment and development. He will manage the business’ current South West portfolio while expanding and strengthening Glenhawk’s broker relationships across the region.

He joins Glenhawk with over ten years’ experience as a business development manager specialising in the South West of England and South Wales. He was previously a relationship manager at Shawbrook Bank where he was responsible for bringing on board brokers for asset finance.

Guy Harrington, CEO of Glenhawk, said: “Steve is one of the best performing business development managers in his sector. With his experience and unique understanding of the broker market combined with his regional expertise, he will be a huge asset to Glenhawk’s expanding operations. “The South West represents a growing market which provides an opportunity for us to deliver a unique lending proposition which is entirely client centric and focuses on ng its recent funding line, the company is now well positioned to expand.

  • The two dissenting directors and a third individual (the “requisitioners”) requisitioned a general meeting of the company, as permitted by section 303 of the Companies Act 2006, to remove two of the defendant directors and appoint one of its beneficial owners as a director. This would effectively give the requisitioners control of the board.
  • In response, the defendant directors exercised a power under the company’s articles to remove the two dissenting directors from office.
  • The requisitioners amended their requisition to add (among other things) resolutions to re-appoint themselves as directors of the company.
