Hertfordshire-based bridging lender TAB has made a key addition to its senior team.

Jason Shead, former head of credit risk at West One Loans — a company founded by Duncan Kreeger, now the chief executive of TAB — joins TAB as chief risk officer.

New BDM says he joined TAB because of its commitment to sustainability finance — and its key values of trust and transparency.

TAB completed £34m of loans in August! August was another record month. We broke through our previous record, set in April, when we completed £23.7 million.

As part of its environment, social and governance strategy, TAB will support the charity by making a significant donation; providing specialist skills to the organisation; and arranging for employees to work at Gratitude as volunteers. TAB will help man the charity’s “pantry service” - as well as advise on marketing, website development, and legal issues.

Norton Broker Services has added TAB to its panel of lenders. The agreement means that brokers using Norton Broker Services now have access to a range of first and second charge residential and commercial bridging loans, development and refurbishment finance products from TAB.

TAB has announced that its loan book has grown to £115m. The Hertfordshire-based bridging lender says a £5.1m 48-hour deal, against an £8.5m purchase of a central London property, and a loan of almost £13m, nudged it over the threshold.

TAB has announced it completed a record month in April. The Hertfordshire-based bridging lender says it completed 11 loans totalling £23.69 million over the course of the month.

TAB in conjunction with the CEO and founder of Real Estate Finance Consultancy (REFC) and Crown City Holdings (CCH), Mr Nir Yedid, recently completed a £9.25m facility for the refinancing of a hotel in The Quay, Poole. The site is owned by the client and operated by Thistle Hotels. The hotel is in a prime position in Poole close to the Sunseekers boatyard and overlooking the harbour which has seen, and continues to see, significant redevelopment.
