Alan said: “The opportunity to join a successful and flourishing business like Signature — with an experienced senior team and an ambitious growth plan — does not come along too often. 

“Already well-established as an alternative lender to watch within the sector across England and Wales, the firm’s aspirations reflect my own. 

“It demonstrates a desire to grow further, introduce new innovative products and help more property professionals secure the lending they need.”

Tony Gilbertson, CEO at Signature, added: “As the business continues to grow and the needs of our clients develop, it’s crucial that we recruit experienced individuals capable of delivering the high-quality services our clients expect. 

“The property market in Scotland is very strong and we’re optimistic about the future need for alternative lenders like us, who work hard to find ways to get deals done, not turn them down.”
