Sancus has appointed Matt Davies as director, offshore funding in its Jersey office to help expand its property lending products and grow the co-funder base.

Sancus offers asset backed lending, with particular specialism in property bridging and development finance, with loans range from £250,000 to £10m+ on assets throughout Jersey, UK, Ireland, Guernsey, Gibraltar and the Isle of Man.

Davies (pictured) has more than 20 years’ experience in the finance industry having worked for a number of private banking institutions and high net worth clients in offshore jurisdictions including Gibraltar and the Channel Islands.

He said: “Having watched Sancus expand over the last few years, particularly its presence in the UK and Ireland, it is a really exciting time for me to join the business. The company has a reputation for being extremely client focussed with an experienced team, capable of handling more complex lending proposals.

“Combining the talent within the business with exciting plans for the future, I am really looking forward to working with my new colleagues to make these plans a reality.”

Rory Mepham, interim CEO at Sancus Lending Group, adds: “We are delighted that Matt has joined our offshore team, he is well connected throughout the offshore community and I’m sure he will inject a great deal of energy into the role.”
