Mark Bladon head of real estate of Investec, said: “Since joining Investec, Jonathan has played a key role in expanding our corporate client base."
Investec has appointed Jonathan Long (pictured) as head of corporate lending in its real estate team.
Having joined Investec in 2016, Long has closed over £600m of real estate loans to a mix of UK and global corporates and institutions in both the development and investment space across all real estate asset classes.
Prior to Investec, he spent three years at BLME, having started his career in Ernst & Young’s banking and capital markets team.
Mark Bladon head of real estate of Investec, said: “Since joining Investec, Jonathan has played a key role in expanding our corporate client base, whilst also working closely with other functions in the real estate space to enhance our offering for both global and domestic investors seeking exposure to the UK market.
"Our client-centric, disciplined approach and 30 year track record has underpinned our strong performance this financial year, which we are well placed to replicate as we move into 2022.”
Jonathan Long, head of corporate lending of Investec, added: “This is an exciting time for Investec as we emerge on the other side of the COVID tunnel.
"Our market leading Living platform has underpinned the team’s deep understanding of the operational real estate space, and we see an opportunity to build on this to be the funding partner of choice for borrowers seeking to grow their exposure to the industrial sector, as well as more nascent sectors including life sciences, self storage and dark kitchens.
"We also believe that providing increasingly sophisticated and discerning clients with access to a range of real estate services, including our fund solutions offering, will allow us to maintain our market leading position.”
