Hope Capital has appointed Keiran Holmes as underwriter and promoted Joanne McGillicuddy to a senior role in the team.

McGillicuddy has been at Hope Capital since 2018, while Holmes joins from Together where he has been for four years after starting out as an apprentice. 

At Together he worked across different areas of the business to gain a broad understanding of specialist finance, before being promoted to the underwriting team.

Senior underwriter Mike Watson also joined from Together earlier this month.

Holmes says: “Hope Capital has been experiencing a surge in enquiries and completions and, with plans for further growth, this is the perfect time to join the team. 

“I am looking forward to working with the team to deliver more record numbers in the coming months.

“Speed and efficiency are key when it comes to bridging and I am a believer in going the extra mile for both broker and customers to get the right outcomes.”

Jo McGillicuddy adds: “It has been a very busy period for everyone at Hope Capital, so it is great to have my achievements recognised and rewarded.

“I’m excited to be part of a company that continues to grow and offer innovative new products to the bridging market and I am looking forward to playing my part in that.”
