SDKA celebrates tenth anniversary with first-class Concorde celebration

08 April 2026

SDKA arrived at its tenth anniversary in supersonic style with over 250 VIP guests coming together to celebrate the landmark achievement under the wings of Concorde.

With a first-class focus on speed, precision and innovation, and their link between the world’s most famous aircraft and bridging finance, the evening saw sponsors, business backers, brokers, staff and family party long into the night flight.

Compèred by celebrated magician Nigel Mead, generous attendees also raised over £9,000 for Seashell Trust, a learning disability charity that supports young people across the UK.

Event sponsors included TWM Solicitors, Downing, gunnercooke, AJP Surveyors, Visionary Finance, Burlingtons and Igloo Finance.

Former Boeing 777 pilot for Emirates and founder and managing director of SDKA, Kunal Mehta said from the stage: “Concorde stood for something special. Speed, precision and innovation, and that’s exactly what we’ve tried to build with SDKA.

“We built [the business] on doing things properly, doing what we say we’ll do and, most importantly, doing right by people. As a team we stayed disciplined, we stayed honest, we operated with integrity and we kept moving forward.

“I’ve always believed turbulence might shake you and it is most definitely part of the journey, but it never knocks us off course because with this team at SDKA we have the right people in the flightdeck. Here’s to the next phase of the flight ahead.”

SDKA is an unregulated bridging lender offering products on Residential, Semi-Commercial and Commercial properties across England, Wales and Scotland. The lender offers interest rates from 0.84% per calendar month up to a maximum LTV of 75%.
