Managing director Mark Hawthorn said: “I’m very proud of what we have achieved over the last 15 years, during which we have seen a lot of changes in the market.

“We continue to grow and innovate and are seen as leaders within the market. Our own portfolio has grown to over £25m and targeted to hit £30m by the end of the year. We enjoy low gearing which offers a robust platform for further growth and expansion into other asset classes.”
