Assetz Capital has appointed David Allanson to its board as a non-executive director.

Following a 30 year+ career in commercial lending, latterly as regional managing director, Lloyds Corporate Banking, Allanson (pictured) has for the last six years taken up several non-executive/board advisory roles, across multiple sectors across financial services, hospitality, manufacturing, digital and B2B services.

Stuart Law, Assetz Capital’s CEO, said: “As we continue to strengthen our team to execute our bold strategy, we are pleased to welcome Dave on board to assist with that. Healthy challenges and insights based upon deep experience are some of the benefits of a good NED and Dave certainly has those skills abounding.

“We look forward to continuing to develop the business onwards and upwards with his additional guidance helping speed up that process.”

Andrew Charnley, managing director, added: “Having known Dave for many years, I am delighted to have him on board to help us deliver on our future growth plans. His passion for people, extensive commercial acumen, and significant lending and leadership experience, will add huge value for Assetz, our investors, customers, and partners alike.”

Allanson said: “I am looking forward to joining the team at Assetz and to working with Stuart, Andrew, and the wider senior management team to deliver on the ambitious growth targets over the next five years. They have a proven 10-year track record, and with a clear strategic plan to continue being at the forefront of residential housebuilding and supporting SMEs with their real estate backed lending requirements, the business has an exciting future ahead of it.

“It is great to be joining at this time, as the business looks to shape the next phase of its journey. Looking forward to meeting the whole team and to working with our investors, customers, and introducers alike.”
