Colin Sanders is leaving the CPC-owned lender Fortwell Capital after six years at the helm.

Sanders had been CEO since the company’s inception in 2011 as Omni Capital Partners where he and his team grew a bridging, structured finance and buy-to-let loan business that has lent over £1 billion.

In addition, he established sister business, Omni Capital Retail Finance, which was sold in January of this year to Castle Trust.

A year ago, Omni Capital Partners re-branded as Fortwell Capital and transitioned its offering into larger short-term finance, structured finance and, specifically, development finance products.

A statement from Fortwell Capital said: “The Fortwell Capital board, led by executive director Dan Smith, wishes to extend its enormous gratitude to Colin for his leadership over the last six years and remains committed to continuing the company’s support to borrowers, developers and investors seeking success in UK real estate.”
