Within the team, Chris Simpson, who has been with SDKA as an underwriter since March 2025, has been promoted to the vacated position of senior underwriter.
Swan (pictured, right) joined the business in May 2023 as an underwriter and has moved through the ranks to a senior leadership position, where he will now oversee the underwriting function and play a key role in the future direction of the business.
SDKA said the promotions come off the back of another successful financial year. From March 2025 to March 2026, pre-tax profits remained stable at circa £3.3m, with loans ranging from £28,000 to £2.275m and averaging £258,000 per transaction.
Kunal Mehta (pictured, left), managing director of SDKA, said: “As always, we look ahead and plan for growth, and to be in the best possible position to meet our targets we need the best people and a widening remit of competitive short-term finance products.
“Alex, Chris, Josh and Sharon have played a pivotal role in our growth over the last few years, and their progression reflects the strength of our team. Their experience and expertise will be invaluable as SDKA continues to grow and evolve.”
