John Hewitt | Partner

John is a seasoned professional with a remarkable 30-year journey in the financial services sector. His career began in general banking and evolved into a specialisation in operations management, lending, & risk management. Distinguished with qualifications as a Chartered Banker and Professional Mortgage Advisor, John’s expertise runs deep.

His path took him from Scotland to the scenic Isle of Man, where he orchestrated sales and service for a prominent banking group. Embracing change, John delved into the world of Alternative Finance & Peer-to-Peer Lending, quickly climbing the ranks from a Relationship Director to Regional Director for the North of the UK. Simultaneously, he acted as a trusted consultant, extending his knowledge to a select group of clients.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact, John transitioned back into full-time consultancy services, capitalising on his extensive network of lenders to aid businesses in securing the essential funding they need to thrive.
