"Tony was a business partner and a dear friend who is succeed by his son Mark, and this is just the first loan in the plans we made to make Ablrate the defacto platform for those raising money in the regional aircraft and capital equipment financing space. Tony would have loved the buzz of getting this done. We created a system to develop £100 million + per annum in loans in our space and this year we are able to start that process, and it's fitting that Tony's son will be joining us on that journey."
