What is your position within the company and what would you say a normal day at work consists of?

My role is Bridging Underwriter. A normal day includes working through applications from submission to completion and then onto redemption. This could include assessing deals, reviewing valuation/asset manager reports or prepping case for approval- all while liaising closely with solicitors, brokers and the clients throughout.

How did you get started in this area of work? How did you become involved with Ascot?

When I finished university, I started my banking journey as a part time job and never left banking since. I have worked for number of well-known high-street retail banks covering different roles. I have been underwriting for past 5 years. When the opportunity to work for Ascot arose, I knew I was ready to branch into bridging finance. The rest is history.

What aspects of your job do you enjoy the most?

I really enjoy the fact that no single day is the same. Bridging is fast paced, and I really enjoy it! Helping customers achieve their goals gives me sense of job satisfaction.
