Hilco Real Estate Finance has appointed Asim Shirwani as managing director.
The agency-backed real estate lender said Shirwani “will focus on developing Hilco real estate finance operations in London and southeast”.
The business, launched in 2023, provides short-term bridge loans and refinancing, with loan sizes ranging from £3 million to £100 million.
Shirwani brings over twenty years of experience in mainstream and professional lending, such as Bridges and Short-term Loans, recently at Cynergy Bank, where he served as Director of Bridge Financing and oversees its expansion in the short-term loan market.
Prior to that, he held senior positions at Lendhub, Lendinvest and Metro Bank.
Max Lewis, chief investment officer of Hilco Real Estate Finance, said: “One of the hallmarks of our approach is getting into senior and experienced people.
“We are committed to building a top-notch team from the top and ASIM’s appointment is a reflection of this philosophy and further enhances our lending capabilities.”
Shirwani added: “As one of the most active and important lenders in the UK, I know that Hilco Real Estate Financing has bold growth ambitions.”
