Kieran McSweeney, joint director of wholesale lending at Shawbrook Bank, said: "We believe there is a real gap in the wholesale market for a lender with market leading technical expertise combined with a very strong service proposition."
"In particular, we know that speed of execution and lack of flexibility in terms is an issue for many finance companies looking for credit." McSweeney added.
