Commercial and bridging specialist wins award

Matthew Dilks, a commercial and bridging specialist at specialist finance packager and master broker Clever Lending, has been recognised for his talents by United Trust Bank (UTB).

Dilks (pictured left) who has worked at Clever Lending for nearly six years, was presented with UTB’s Specialist of the Year award at a recent dinner the bank held for its key introducers in the North of England.

UTB gave awards to individuals in each region, rewarding their unique skillsets.

Dilks was recognised for his expertise in bridging finance, having successfully placed many cases with UTB over the years. At Clever Lending, he is primarily tasked with helping clients and brokers source financing for bridging loans, commercial mortgages, development finance, and buy-to-let properties and portfolios.

Paul Delmonte (pictured right), key account manager at United Trust Bank, commented:  “Matt fully deserves the recognition from this award. Over the years we’ve worked very closely together on a number of transactions that has helped his clients reach their goals.

“Working with Matt is an absolute pleasure. His attention to detail and understanding of lending criteria is of the highest standard. I’m really looking forward to continuing working with him and the Bridging team going forward”

 Dilks added: “I was genuinely touched to receive this award from United Trust Bank - to be recognised for my skills by a leading bridging lender is very gratifying.

“They are excellent to deal with, always happy to go the extra mile to get the right result for the client. In my mind, this award also recognises the team at Clever Lending who all play their part in getting difficult bridging cases successfully completed.”
