Fiduciam is proud to announce the opening of its Dutch office in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Fiduciam will move business development activities for the Dutch market to Utrecht, while the London office will remain in charge of underwriting the loans. The move will provide a regional base of operations to enable Fiduciam to better serve Dutch clients based in the Netherlands.

As part of the company’s rapid international expansion, the Fiduciam team will be further strengthened by Mr. Bardo van Hoogen in his new function of Country Manager for the Netherlands. Bardo van Hoogen brings over 15 years of experience and knowledge to Fiduciam. Previous roles include positions at RNHB (former subsidiary of RABO Bank) and the real estate divisions of Nationale Nederlanden and ING Bank.

Kenneth Duffy has joined Fiduciam from Pepper as Country Manager for Ireland, and Daniel Gutierrez has joined Fiduciam from RBS as Country Manager for Spain. They each bring 10 years of experience to Fiduciam.  These hires represent a major step forward for Fiduciam’s strategy to expand its business across the European markets and will strengthen Fiduciam’s unique positioning in both Spain and Ireland.

This morning, at the Goodwood Revival, TVR has unveiled its long-awaited new sports car.  Fiduciam is pleased to have partnered with TVR in putting a British icon back on the roads.

John Chasey, CEO of TVR said: “As an entrepreneur it is never simple to find finance these days, even when the principals come with a lot of experience and the business case is unquestionable.  Fiduciam made the difference for us, and their loan was one of the key components that made it possible to reach today’s important milestone of unveiling our new car”.

After one year of software development and implementation, Fiduciam has transitioned its lending business to a cutting-edge IT platform which provides a front-to-back marketplace solution with a highly scalable loan management system frequently used by challenger banks. ​This new solution streamlines and automates the origination and lifecycle processes, delivers major efficiency gains and permits to scale up lending activities in a controlled environment. The platform sets a new benchmark for marketplace lending and represents a very strong customer proposition, as Fiduciam’s clients will be able to witness.

Clint White has joined Fiduciam from Wellesley and has been appointed Head of Property Lending. Clint has held several senior roles at Wellesley since its establishment and has 12 years of experience in specialised property lending.

This hire represents a major step forward for Fiduciam, which has been going from strength to strength since it started lending in early 2015. Fiduciam plans to make further hires in the coming months to build out its underwriting capacity.
