To say the last 3 months have been a whirlwind (in the best possible way) would be an understatement. It’s incredible the number of economic challenges and changes we’ve all been through. Who’d have thought base rates would have jumped twice from 2.25% to 3.5%, coupled with stories of energy prices quadrupling!
From a social perspective, as I reflect on my journey so far, I am amazed at just how much I’ve learned. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to work with the clients, lenders, and introducers that I do. This is on top of working closely with a team that have over 60 years of experience (the old sods!). Without these reflection periods, it’s easy to take all of this for granted.
As you can imagine, coming from a sales and marketing background into the finance sector has been a steep learning curve, but I’ve relished the opportunity. This learning curve started in my previous role in an accountancy firm but has now accelerated beyond anything I could have imagined. Below are a few of the key learning points that stick out in particular:
Oh, and one final point that I’ve learnt. There are WAY too many acronyms in finance! Thankfully, I’ve managed to learn most of them!
From an economic perspective I’m intrigued to see what the next three months brings. If you take one thing away from this, there are lenders willing and wanting to support businesses. From a social perspective, I am excited to see what the next 3 months brings and what I will learn – if you’re lucky, I might update you again then!
I want to take this opportunity to wish all my clients, prospects, introducers, and lenders a Happy New Year and a Merry Christmas. Thank you for all your support in 2022, and I look forward to working with you in 2023!
