Real estate development lending platform – Precede Capital Partners – announces that industry veteran Nigel Webb joins its Board in the role of Non-Executive Director. He will also sit on Precede Capital’s Credit and ESG Committees.
Nigel is a leading figure in the UK construction industry, and his appointment will further strengthen Precede Capital’s Board expertise. His deep industry knowledge and extensive network of contacts will assist the company’s specialist team as it continues to source, underwrite, structure and manage large-scale loans to finance complex developments in the Build to Rent, residential for sale, later living and PBSA sectors.
“It is a pleasure to be joining the team at Precede Capital at a time of significant growth for the platform. The UK construction market is contending with various headwinds, and our lending continues to play a crucial role in enabling the construction of new residential schemes that meet national demand for housing and bring social value to local communities.
“We aim to leverage our collective team experience to produce highly bespoke financing solutions for our clients, whilst helping them push forward the sustainability agenda. I look forward to supporting the Precede Capital team on loan selection and portfolio management, ensuring effective risk management across the lifecycle of our loans.”
