A bit about me – your regional partner

I’m Evan Griffin. I bring 20 years Banking experience having managed a multitude of trading business clients in the past across the North of England, with a focus on real estate development and investment lending, latterly focusing exclusively on development lending.

Clients have come from a range of sectors, and as such I have worked with traditional house builders, as well as developers converting commercial space into residential units, and student landlords.

Property, and in particular property development, is a genuine passion of mine, which is why I have chosen to specialise in this niche; I truly believe we need more homes built!

You can contact me directly on 07395 917 458, or via email at [email protected]. I’d be delighted to discuss your current and future plans and how we can support your ambitions.
