Development finance lender Atelier has appointed Robert Orr to its board as a non-executive director.
Prior to joining Atelier, Orr led the development finance team at Paragon Bank as managing director, following the bank’s acquisition of Titlestone Property Finance, the development finance lender that he established in 2012.
In his new role as a NED at Atelier, he will provide strategic guidance to the senior leadership team and will also be a member of the board credit committee.
Orr said: “Atelier is an established specialist lender with a clear vision for the future. The team’s deep market expertise, combined with the strength of its backing, makes this a great platform for growth. I’m looking forward to supporting the business as it moves into its next phase.”
Chris Gardner, CEO of Atelier, added: “Robert knows this industry inside out. His strategic mindset and deep lending expertise will be invaluable as we push forward with our growth plans. We are really excited to welcome Robert to the business.”
