Short-term lender, Glenhawk, has appointed Clare Grimes to the role of origination director for structured real estate.

Clare joins from GRE Capital where she was responsible for leading their debt origination. She previously spent more than six years at Octopus Capital, and is a qualified chartered surveyor.

Clare Grimes said: “I’m excited to be joining Glenhawk at a pivotal moment in its growth. The team has already established a strong reputation for delivering creative, bespoke solutions for complex and high-value requirements, but what really stood out to me was the ambition to push those standards even further. I’m looking forward to contributing to the next phase of Glenhawk’s journey and helping extend our hands-on, commercial approach to more brokers and clients nationwide.”

Chris Daly, managing director of structured real estate at Glenhawk, commented: “Clare’s appointment marks a significant milestone for our structured real estate business. As our first origination director, she brings deep market knowledge, strong broker relationships and a proven ability to structure complex transactions at scale. Her arrival reflects both the momentum we’ve built to date and our ambition to broaden our reach while continuing to deliver the certainty, creativity and commerciality that brokers and clients expect from Glenhawk.

“I’m delighted to welcome Clare to the team and look forward to working closely with her as we take the platform into its next phase of growth.”
