“I get things done without creating a fuss”
“I have a strong focus on retail and technology, and am often very involved with clients across their strategic thinking and growth plans as much as their debt requirements.
My international experience is vast. A good majority of what I do involves an international angle, and I am also the firm’s member representative for TerraLex.
I am always delivering for clients, helping resolve their issues, and being their main trusted advisor. Clients like me because I get things done without creating a fuss.
The best approach to client relationships? Listening to their needs. Understanding their business. Being proactive. And did I mention listening?”
Sukh’s recent work highlights:
Advising Integrity International Group on the financing in relation to the conversion of 55 Broadway, a Grade I listed building and ex-TFL headquarters, into a new hotel development.
Advising European private investment group on various financing issues relating to their UK borrower client portfolio, including acting on debt recovery and restructuring proposals.
Advising Demica, a fintech client that provides cloud-based working capital products, with its existing convertible loan notes and wider debt requirements, as well as on-going negotiations with international banks on provision of Demica’s financial services.
