This is a vote of confidence in what we have achieved thus far and will no doubt help us further strengthen our market offering.”

Benson Hersch (pictured), CEO of the ASTL, added: “We are delighted to welcome Whitehall Capital as the latest lender to join the ASTL. As with all of our members, Whitehall Capital has demonstrated a customer focus and commitment to high standards that will help to advance the reputation of the industry.”
