We caught up with Luke for a quick Q&A to learn what motivates him, what he’s discovered on the job and how he spends his time outside of work.
What brought you into lending and to EuroCrest Bank?
I’ve always been interested in working with businesses, and banking felt like the right fit early on. I joined EuroCrest Bank because I was impressed by how far the team had come in a relatively short time after gaining its banking licence and I wanted to be part of that journey.
What do you love most about working with brokers and SMEs?
Helping businesses achieve their goals never gets old. It’s always satisfying when a loan completes and you know you’ve contributed to achieving their growth ambitions.
What makes a deal stand out to you?
The more bespoke, the more interesting. I enjoy getting stuck into deals that challenge me and require creative thinking to structure. Getting those over the line always feels like a big win.
What’s the most rewarding part of completing a deal?
Completion day! Getting everything sorted so funds are released and expectations are met.
What sets EuroCrest Bank apart from other lenders?
EuroCrest Bank feels fresh and adaptable. We’re in a great position to address real problems in the current lending market, and we’ve got the drive to work and respond to customer needs.
What have you learned from working with brokers?
They’re absolutely essential. Brokers put in the hard yards and are critical to the success of every deal and we wouldn’t be where we are without them.
How do you like to spend time outside of work?
Travelling, without a doubt. I love exploring new horizons.
Whether he’s piecing together a challenging deal or planning his next adventure, Luke brings focus, optimism, and energy to everything he does. Keep an eye out, he might be the one behind your next successful deal.
