Daniel Austin, CEO and Co-founder of ASK said,

“We are delighted to have won this award, it means a lot to have been voted for by our clients and partners, and industry professionals. We’ve worked hard to meet borrowers’ needs with flexibility and fast turnaround times. ASK does not lend exclusively in the small ticket market, having closed two loans around the £30m mark already this year but the boost in the small ticket lending market last year undoubtedly played to our strengths. We are very much property people and have always looked at the underlying asset value when writing loans rather than being metric driven. There has been a lot of uncertainty around sectors such as retail and offices but a fundamental demand for the built environment remains. This leaves a lot of room for creativity and looking at assets in terms of their different possible uses.”
