Centralis are excited to announce the launch of a new Loan Agency offering with the hire of Joe Ellis-Grewal as Head of Loan Agency based in London.
Joe was previously at GLAS where he led the UK Business Development team and most recently at Mount Street where he built our their Corporate Loan Agency offering. With this key hire, Centralis intends to launch a Loan Agency business in the coming months which will establish Centralis as one of few providers in the market who can offer a full suite of end-to-end services to our already significant fund and corporate client base.
In an ever-evolving market landscape, the demand for independent agents that can provide a premium quality service to their clients continues to grow. Working closely with teams across the business, Joe will help develop a scalable platform delivering agency and trustee services across both Loans and Bonds in the performing and non-performing space that meet the high standards our clients expect.
Aidan Foley, CEO:
"The launch of our new Loan Agency business is a natural extension of our existing SPV and Corporate Services platform and reflects our ambition to expand the ways we support private credit managers, sponsors, and arrangers across the markets we serve. Joe’s background combines strong technical expertise with a proven commercial track record in the debt servicing and administration sector – qualities we believe are essential when establishing and scaling a new service line. We look forward to launching this business line in the coming months and providing both existing and new clients with a full array of services."
Joe Ellis-Grewal:
“The opportunity to launch a Loan Agency business off the back of an already well respected and established player in the market is an opportunity that does not come along often. There remains a demand in the market for high quality agents that can fulfil the ever-changing needs of sponsors, lenders and borrowers and building an offering that can meet and move with these needs is an exciting opportunity. With Centralis’ current high quality client base and an entrepreneurial approach to new business lines I look forward to the challenge of establishing Centralis as a leading independent agent in the market”
