Davenport-Jenkins, who has a background in real estate and financial services with previous experience at Morgan Stanley, joined HREF in 2023. In his elevated role, he will focus on serving clients in Northern England and Scotland.
He shared his optimism about the growth potential at HREF and his commitment to expanding the company’s lending operations.
“When I joined HREF last year, I saw that it was a fantastic opportunity to help develop what I believe will become one of the leading real estate lending businesses in the UK,” Davenport-Jenkins said. “I’m excited to be stepping up by originating my own loans and taking on more responsibility in underwriting and executing transactions.”
Shokin, who has facilitated loans exceeding £200 million over the past five years, is recognised for his extensive network among international family offices and borrowers throughout mainland Europe and the Far East.
“I am really pleased to join Hilco,” he said. “I have worked with the team since they entered the market last year, and I have been hugely impressed with their ability to deliver lending solutions for their clients in a commercial and expeditious manner.”
Hilco Real Estate Finance provides tailored property finance solutions across various real estate sectors, offering loans ranging from £1 million to over £50 million for purposes such as growth, acquisitions, and refinancing.
The lender, poised for significant transactional activity in the second quarter of 2024, operates from its headquarters in London and additional offices across the UK. As part of Hilco Global, a major financial services group managing assets worth over $3 billion, HREF leverages its parent company’s extensive expertise in lending, valuation, and asset management.
