New specialist lender launches in Jersey

Tuesday 11 July 2017

Specialist lender, Shawbrook International, has launched in Jersey.

Headed by Managing Director Adam Dawson, Shawbrook International offers individuals and businesses a range of funding products.

The business is a subsidiary of Shawbrook Bank, a UK specialist bank established in 2011.

Mr Dawson says: “We’re building the team with handpicked local specialists who understand the market here and the sectors in which our business customers operate. We want to build our reputation for being pragmatic and personal, which starts with simply spending time with our customers and listening, and for bringing a bit of good sense to finance.

"Our dedication to the Jersey SME community also goes beyond the assets we finance. We need to get to know our customers as it’s important for us to build a partnership based on a sound understanding of the businesses we work with. Our approach to lending relies on us understanding the whole story – the journey your business has been on and where you want to take it next.”

Shawbrook International assisted Meleches Farm when owner Nick Mourant needed to acquire a new power harrow. Commenting on Shawbrook International's services, Mr Mourant said: “I have known Adam for many years. He was my first port of call when we were looking to purchase our new power harrow. The service was first class and we were able to get the equipment quickly and on competitive terms. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”
