2020 has been a challenging year for so many. Whilst we look forward to 2021 filled with the promise of vaccines, treatments and recovery, we would like to take a moment to look back at 2020. The pandemic brought us together and showed the best in humanity. However, it also claimed many victims and caused enormous destruction. We did our bit to fight the crisis by standing by our SMEs throughout the entire pandemic and granting interest payment holidays and new loans. Whilst a number of lenders shut their doors, our employees did an extraordinary job to maintain an efficient lending operation and our institutional investors showed their strong commitment and humane engagement by continuing to advance funds. Our company continued to grow in 2020 both in terms of number of employees and loan book. We were honoured to become accredited by the British Business Bank as a lender in the UK government’s Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme.
In our tradition of making festive fun, our Jane Bond captures some of the zeitgeist in our end-of-2020 holiday film.
