The team will be led by Samuel Leach, head of investor relations, and Tab said it was growing to meet “unprecedented demand” and targeting £30m in monthly bridging originations.
The expanded investor relations team will cater specifically to high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), family offices, and private investors seeking opportunities in the UK real estate market.
Leach currently oversees a portfolio of over £100m from HNWIs.
Leach (pictured) said: “The appetite from family offices and private investors for secure, asset-backed returns has never been higher.
“Investors are looking for transparency, tangible collateral, and a lender with a proven track record. By expanding our investor relations team, we are ensuring that our private investors receive a bespoke, high-touch service while gaining access to the same institutional-grade property deals that are driving Tab’s rapid growth.”

Duncan Kreeger, CEO and founder of Tab, said Leach had been a trusted partner “for years”.
He added: “His ongoing leadership of the investor relations team and his role on the board ensures we have the right infrastructure to scale our private capital base alongside our lending volume.”
Other new hires
Kreeger added that the expansion of the investor relations team will include new hires dedicated to family office liaison, private client onboarding and portfolio reporting.
The expansion comes after five hires to the sales team in February, as Tab pursues its growth strategy.
The new hires included Kristofer Day, who was appointed national account manager and covers Scotland, as well as a strengthened presence in London and the home counties.
Tab said it now has a sales team prepared to deliver fast, flexible finance solutions across the UK.
