Rupert has over 20 years of experience in the London property market. After studying Property Valuation & Finance at the City of London’s Cass Business School Rupert joined Citywise a commercial property marketing company in 1992. In 1997 he led a management buy-out of the company from the parent group Focus.

Rupert later moved to become Business Development Executive for Bovis Lend Lease which was one his largest accounts at the time before setting up Creative Works, a design agency specialising in Commercial Property Marketing. To capitalise on the design and advice provided to restaurant clients by Creative Works a sister company, Rathbone Project Management, was opened to run a series of multi-million pound refurbishments of the restaurants and implement the design concepts. The latest restaurant completed is Shepherd’s of Westminster.
“Over the years, companies I have run have used secured loans, invoice discounting and bridging finance to meet their funding requirements. Understanding and structuring the correct financial profile can be the difference between success and failure for any property development, investment or commercial enterprise.” Commented Rupert.


“After being disappointed with the advice on offer from the high street banks and researching the market, the opportunity to develop a commercial finance brokerage and pass on the information learnt seemed a logical step. At Property and Asset Finance we aim to guide our clients to the most appropriate funding solutions, short or long term, to ensure that they can successfully achieve their business goals.”
