Joanne joins as Hope as underwriting assistant and brings with her a wealth of experience of working to tight time constraints and proactively liaising with internal departments and stakeholders to ensure deadlines are met.

Jonathan Sealey, CEO, Hope Capital said: 

“We have had a very successful year so far, with a 30% increase on our loan book in the first three months of 2018. To continue to grow, we need to bring people who can help us achieve our targets. Georgina, Joanne and Yvonne will play key roles in that growth, and we are delighted to welcome them all to the team.

"We will be moving to a new and bigger office in the next month, and will then be looking to take on more people in all areas of the business to help us achieve our ambitious expansion plans.”
