Sirius Property Finance has promoted two existing staff members to senior roles in the business after growing the firm’s headcount by a third over the past year.

Craig Hardiman-Scott has been promoted from senior associate in the structured finance team to head of sales, directly supporting the managing director.

Leoni Alexandrou has been promoted from head of operations to director of operations, giving her a wider role in the business as part of the management team.

Over the last 12 months Sirius has significantly increased its staffing across its commercial, structured finance, property debt advisory and case administration teams.

Sirius managing director Nicholas Christofi says: “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.”
