"Russell approached us over a year ago to introduce the concept of a more flexible Banking facility than we had previously had in place. It was clear that Russell understood the facility well and how it would work for us and have a positive impact. He knew what was required in terms of a Business Plan and indeed helped us to write the plan to present to HSBC. What also became clear was his excellent working relationship with the Bank which helped us overcome the usual hurdles you encounter in a deal. He was knowledgeable and responsive. The facility was completed just before Easter and the company is in a stronger position because of it. In addition Russell achieved all this, with the exception of one meeting in the UK, whilst operating from Cyprus where he is now based. We would not hesitate to recommend his services to businesses such as ourselves.”

“As a medium size property developer (t/o £15m) with good assets but a Bank not in a positive frame of mind, we found ourselves unable to progress. The challenge was to re-Bank in an impossible climate for Banking/property sector and in a very short timescale. We tried the usual Banks, who liked our proposal but had either no funds or no appetite to deal, other than on impossible terms. Russell Jowett picked up the case and used his connections and proposal skills to secure a deal in a matter of weeks and with minimal hassle to ourselves. Our deal completed and our business is now free to take advantage of the many opportunities which do exist. We also had lots of fun on the way. A great result”
