Head of Asset Management

We are very impressed with the quality and depth of this report, and it was straight sanction without any queries. For a new to bank deal at this loan size that is incredibly rare, and I want to thank you for your efforts here. The interest-only element could have been a challenge, but the Credit Risk team felt the reason had been explained fully and so was happy to support.
