Specialist property debt adviser, Sirius Property Finance, has created a number of new roles.
In the last year, Sirius has grown its team by 35%, including recruitment in its commercial and structured finance teams, property debt advisory roles and several new case administrators to provide support.
As a result, the new lending team has already delivered more lending in 2021 than it did in the whole of 2020.
This growth has provided new opportunities for the existing team to support the ongoing development of the business. Craig Hardiman-Scott, formerly a senior associate in the structured finance team, has been named as head of sales, joining the Sirius management team and directly supporting managing director, Nicholas Christofi.
In addition, Leoni Alexandrou (pictured) has been promoted from head of operations to director of operations as she takes on a wider business role as part of the management team.
Christofi said: “First, I would like to congratulate Craig and Leoni on their new roles, which are both richly deserved and a testament to their ongoing hard work and commitment to the business. I’d also like to take the chance to welcome all of our new recruits, who have been quick to adapt to our culture and focus on the highest levels of client service.
“It has been a challenging year for everyone, but there have also been opportunities to help individuals and businesses to secure the finance they have needed to navigate this difficult period and fund their objectives. I am very proud and pleased that we have been able to deliver on those opportunities and continue to grow the business in such a robust way.”
