Reward strengthens London and South East presence with key appointment

Alternative finance lender Reward Funding has bolstered its growth ambitions in London and the South East with the appointment of Jaxon Stevens as its new business development director.

Stevens, who brings over 25 years of experience in property finance and alternative lending, will focus on expanding Reward’s loan book by working closely with SMEs, property investors, and entrepreneurs. He will also leverage the lender’s established network of introducers and commercial finance brokers to drive new business across the region.

“Reward has been on a rapid growth trajectory since launching in London four years ago,” said Stevens. “It has played a key role in making funding accessible to a wide range of ambitious SMEs, whether impacted by COVID-19 or simply in need of a dependable and rapid approach to meet their tailored funding needs.”

“I’m really excited to be part of the company’s success story and look forward to further enhancing our lending capabilities and unlocking opportunities for more business in the current challenging economic climate.”

In his new role, Stevens will work alongside Simon Adcock, Reward’s regional director for London and the South East. Adcock praised Stevens’ extensive industry knowledge and strong network as key assets for the business.

“Jaxon brings extensive financial experience, expertise and knowledge to the role and will be a tremendous asset to the business moving forward,” said Adcock. “I feel he will be pivotal in helping us further fill the gap left by banks and other traditional lenders, so that we can continue to strengthen our market presence in the region.”
