Atelier appoints Robertson as lending manager in Scotland

Robertson has more than thirty years of experience in property finance and joins from Assetz Capital where he was a relationship director.  

He has also previously worked at the Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group. Over his career, he has overseen more than £350m of lending to property developers in Scotland and northern England. 

At Atelier, he will be responsible for delivering loans to developers in Scotland with residential, student and care sector projects. 

Robertson (pictured) said: “Atelier’s combination of market-leading interest rates and technology, and swift, certain deal execution has made it a lender of choice for the small and medium-sized developers who now build more than half of the new homes completed in Britain each year. 

“I am delighted to be joining Atelier’s experienced, professional team to grow its lending to Scotland’s developers. The development market in Scotland is proving remarkably resilient and inventive, and I’m looking forward to working with intermediaries and property professionals to deliver Atelier finance and help get more homes built.” 

Gilsenan added: “Bruce joins us with an outstanding track record in development finance and an unmatched knowledge of Scotland’s most promising markets.  

“Scotland is a market full of opportunity, where local knowledge and expertise are critical to deliver well-structured and competitive financial solutions that support both developers and intermediaries.”
