KSEYE almost doubles its team during 2021

The firm has grown its team from 18 to 34 employees over the past 11 months, establishing a new marketing team, adding a legal director to its board, expanding its sales and underwriting departments, and appointing a new head of underwriting, Ky Benjamin, and head of buy-to-let, Stephen Rundle.

In October, KSEYE launched a new hybrid BTL product range, which has already resulted in a significant volume of deals.

Founded in November 2012, KSEYE has completed more than 600 loans to date, totalling in excess of £435 million worth of lending. In both 2020 and 2021, the company has exceeded £100 million in lending, with its largest loan having been £11 million.

Amanda Zin Lin Yeo, Reporting Manager at KSEYE, said: “Nine years is a fair innings for a bridging lender, and the milestone has provided an opportunity for us to reflect on the growth of the businesses. While the UK’s bridging sector has, in most regards, gone from strength to strength since 2012, so too has KSEYE evolved and improved its offering, with many successes along the way, which we are very proud of.

“The past year has been our most successful yet, with the team growing at pace and more deals done than in any previous calendar year. With such a diverse range of talented, experienced professionals now part of the KSEYE family, we’re extremely optimistic about what 2022 has in store.

“Thank you to all our employees, clients, investors, partners and the brokers we work closely with. So many people have played a part in the journey so far, and we look forward to sharing more exciting news about our products and milestones in the months to come.”
