Relationship Manager - Nigel Perryman FCCA
Nigel joined THFC in January 2005 having, as he says, “had a career of two halves”. In the first half he worked in the finance functions of large corporations such as Esso, RCA and Hogg Robinson. In the second half he progressively moved into the property sector. Initially, working in property development companies both listed and private which involved raising development finance via public offerings, through joint ventures and by traditional bank finance. He then moved to the RSL sector and has worked in three completely different Associations, a small specialist care provider, a large traditional Association and an LSVT. Treasury work has been a significant feature of all three roles and he undertook a £75m refinancing during this time. Thus he joins THFC with not only a broad range of experience, but with an understanding of the practical day to day difficulties that borrowers can face when dealing with loan management issues.
