espite our best hopes to see everyone in person at last after a difficult and distant period, 2021 saw the team make the difficult decision to once again hold the SFI Awards remotely. This proved to be the best choice in the end, as delays to the easing of lockdown would most likely have been the downfall of an in-person event – especially one of the scale we’re all hoping for after a year or so of Zoom parties. Although we would have liked nothing more than to clink our glasses in real life, the virtual SFI Awards went from strength to strength, building on last year’s glitzy foray into the world of remote celebrations to create an even more slick, stylish affair. Once again, industry players gathered around the country – in pub gardens, living rooms, and even in my own case a Cornish beach – to celebrate the best and brightest the specialist market has to offer. At the time of writing, the 2021 SFI Awards video has been watched more than 1,000 times, with more ticking up even as we speak – check it out at sfiawards.co.uk if you haven’t had a chance yet. With more than 30,000 votes cast and 86 expert judges called in to whittle down 141 excellent finalists to 29 ultimate winners, this event was a huge undertaking. With more borrowers than ever coming to understand the importance, and indeed the necessity, of the service provided by specialist lenders across a vast array of situations, from chain breaks to development projects, it is imperative that we recognise and celebrate the high standards being set by this industry.

NEW TEAM
KNOWN FACES
REAL ESTATE SECURED LENDING ADVISORY In secured lending on real estate and during the life of the loan, issues are sometimes encountered that were not foreseen in the initial due diligence undertaken at origination. Should this occur, you will need real estate advisory partners who are professional, reliable, easy to deal with and economically the best fit. You will need a partner you can trust and be able to talk to without reservation and in total confidence. At Hilco Global Real Estate Advisory we offer tailored lender advisory services to every situation with a dedicated team all with ‘big firm’ experience combining decades of experience. Our services include: Lending valuation reviews of third-party valuations Strategic overviews of borrower's business plans/proposals Working alongside borrowers in developing and implementing consensual work-out strategies Development and implementation of short-term exit strategies Our team of dedicated professionals have decades of 'hands-on' experience and is led by Jon Cookson, who has worked extensively with lenders, fund managers, family offices and other major institutions in the UK and Europe advising on stressed loans.

“
We’re really proud to have been named Specialist Finance Lender of the Year, especially after what’s been the most challenging year most of us can remember. Everything we do is geared towards making sure brokers can access the products their customers need, so we’re thrilled our efforts have been recognised. A big thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for us.” SFI AWARDS 2021
