We plan to develop an even deeper market presence through the launch of innovative products, the deployment of market leading customer centric technology and continuing to use data to add value to intermediaries and borrowers. We also intends to attract further lending capital through our continued robust underwriting and risk management.
Quentin Baer, Co-Chairman of ThinCats: “On behalf of all at ThinCats, we would like to thank John for his enormous contribution to the business. Under his leadership, ThinCats has transformed itself from a start up to an established competitor in the SME secured lending sector with institutional funding and strong origination and proprietary data analytics capabilities. We wish him well for his future endeavours. We have a great opportunity to capitalise on ThinCats’ impressive growth to date to create a bigger platform to compete with the mainstream banks, providing a superior service and loan product to UK SMEs. We are delighted that Amany, with her experience of scaling businesses and leveraging analytics and technology to improve the customer experience, is joining us to lead this next phase of growth.”
