Alternative lender Reward Funding is gearing up for further expansion in London and the South East with the appointment of Jaxon Stevens as its new Business Development Director.

With a career spanning over 25 years, Stevens will be tasked with growing Reward’s loan book by working closely with SMEs, property investors, and entrepreneurs. He will also collaborate with the lender’s network of introducers and commercial finance brokers.

Speaking about his new role, Stevens noted that Reward has been on a “rapid growth trajectory” since its London launch four years ago. “The business has played a key role in making funding accessible to a wide range of ambitious SMEs,” he said, adding that he’s looking forward to “unlocking opportunities” for more businesses in today’s “challenging economic climate.”

Stevens will work alongside Simon Adcock, Regional Director for London and the South East, who described the appointment as a strategic move. “Jaxon brings extensive financial experience, expertise and knowledge to the role,” Adcock said. “He’ll be pivotal in helping us fill the gap left by banks and traditional lenders.”

Adcock also highlighted Stevens’ strong industry network: “Having spent much of his career in business development, Jaxon has established valuable connections with brokers, SMEs and property professionals—relationships that will be invaluable to Reward and our clients.”
