Vic Jannels CEO of ASTL

Congratulations to our Executive Chairman who has been appointed CEO of the ASTL.

The function of The Association of Short Term Lenders is to protect and promote the interests of its members and to give confidence to all parties who transact business with them. Their members abide by a strict code of conduct; they are typically bridging and secured loan companies who provide loans and mortgages for short terms usually of between six months and one year.

Vic Jannels, CEO of the ASTL, says: “The bridging industry is at a critical point in its history. The market has delivered significant growth in recent years, but increased competition and economic uncertainty mean that it is more important than ever for lenders to maintain high standards of governance. Thanks to the magnificent efforts of Benson over the past seven years, the ASTL is the most prominent and well-respected organisation in this space, with an opportunity to unite the market and lead the way into a successful and sustainable future. I am both honoured and excited to have the opportunity to take the helm and shape the course of this fantastic industry.”
