Interpath bolsters real estate debt advisory team with new hires

Interpath Advisory has strengthened its real estate debt advisory team with the appointment of Simon Mower as a managing director, where he will lead the team.

He was previously head of real estate debt advisory at KPMG and has more than 18 years’ experience in the sector.

At Interpath, he joins a growing debt advisory practice led by John Miesner and will work alongside Dublin-based managing director Andy Tallon.

Mower joins Interpath alongside Charlie Allanson, Isaac Jermy and Shelby Arthur from KPMG.

Director Allanson arrives after five years with KPMG in its real estate debt advisory team and was previously a relationship manager at Lloyds Banking Group.

Meanwhile, Isaac Jermy has been appointed as an associate director and Shelby Arthur as a manager.

The new hires further add to a wider multi-disciplinary team of real estate specialists and also follows a series of senior appointments across Interpath’s debt advisory team and wider advisory practice.

Miesner said: “The debt markets are at a fascinating juncture. Investors and businesses are adapting to higher interest rates and low macroeconomic growth, whilst supply in the debt markets has never been deeper or more diverse. The value of independent advice has never been higher.

“We’re building an exceptional team of experienced and specialist debt advisers that can provide the pragmatic counsel that our clients need against this complex backdrop. The addition of Simon, Charlie, Isaac and Shelby complements our existing capabilities in Real Estate and will blend the skills of experienced bankers, corporate financiers and agents.”

Mower added: “Interpath is showing its stand-out appetite for making an impact in the debt advisory market and is committed to backing me and the team in delivering exceptional support to clients operating across the real estate sector. We believe we are at a turning point in the macroeconomic cycle and this will provide opportunity and challenge to the sector with capital raising being a critical part of effecting change for the future.

“There’s an appetite from lenders and investors to deploy in the UK across residential, commercial and operational real estate. However, each sector and situation has a different story and requires robust preparation to provide the best outcome in a complex market. We’re on hand to help our clients find the right funding partners and options and to give themselves the best chance to obtain the best deal.”
