My hope is we see signs of stability. Smoother waters and clarity in 2019 would be warmly welcomed.

We received more than £500m worth of enquiries this year so there is no sign of the market slowing down. We have also noticed a significant shift in banks wanting to move away from direct lending and deploy their capital through alternative lenders so I expect to see further growth and investment from both national and international investors.

Resolution: Professionally it would be to capitalise on the success we had in 2018 and continue to grow Glenhawk’s market share in the short-term finance sector, as well as looking at lending opportunities that are complementary within the real estate arena. Personally, it is to order fewer Deliveroos!
