Brian Pitt, group CEO and co-founder at Rockstead, added: “The bridging and development lending sectors are growing markets, attracting new borrowers, brokers, lenders and funding partners. Sustainable growth requires a robust approach to governance, which is something the BDLA has been so successful at promoting and developing.

“At Rockstead, we can help firms achieve the high standards of governance, risk and compliance they need to succeed in this growing market.”
