Hope Capital has boosted business development and underwriting roles at the bridging firm.  

Charlie Gregory has been promoted to senior business development manager from business development manager.  

The lender says Gregory will “continue to support clients in London and the South, while having more involvement in the strategic direction of the sales team and overall business”.  

The business has also created two senior underwriters and a new underwriter.  

Andy Bate, who joined the lender in June 2021, and Ryan Peers, who joined the business in April 2022, have both been promoted to senior underwriters.  

While Hammad Abbasi has moved from being an underwriting coordinator to an underwriter.  

Hope Capital chief executive Jonathan Sealey says: “All of these promotions are thoroughly deserved. Charlie, Andy, and Ryan all know the business inside and out and have shown complete dedication and commitment to their roles.   

“Although Hammad is a more recent appointment, he too has shown a real commitment to the role and company, which is why we have no doubt he is ready to step up to an underwriter position.  

“Each promotion will enable us to continue to grow and build even stronger relationships with our brokers, stakeholders, and so forth, as we continue to identify further opportunities for expansion in the market.”
