Ansar Mahmood

Technology is changing the way everyone does business. And the pace of change will continue to accelerate.

All companies have to face the challenges this brings. Ansar Mahmood is chief executive of finance company Fluid Trust, based in central Manchester.

His message to other entrepreneurs and businesses is to embrace that change and to make it work for them.

Mahmood explains how the bridging finance business that he founded is actively working with a number of fintech partners in its quest to disrupt the market.

He says: “You have to embrace technology and that is what we are doing. The world is changing and most companies are becoming technology companies.

“We are offering apps to help investors track how well they are doing. It makes it easier for them to make their decisions and gives them a chance to move quickly.

“The world has changed, and investors are more empowered to make their decisions. It also makes things more transparent.

“The next stage will be the use of blockchain technologies and that is really going to change the financial world completely over the next five years.

“The fact is that it is going to make things more competitive and that has got to be good news for investors.”
