A Q&A with Nick Sellars (Group Managing Director)

Responding to Lockdown:

  • Acted quickly: reorganised staff, improved communication, and stayed close to clients
  • Focused on calm, practical support rather than panic
  • Technology and real conversations played a key role

Client Impact:

  • Many clients hit hard—especially those with retail exposure or halted projects
  • 4Syte stayed hands-on, offering flexible funding and honest advice
  • Emphasis on keeping communication open and consistent

Adaptability Across Products:

  • 4Syte Structured Finance stayed active, even as demand shifted
  • 4Syte Construction remained stable but cautious due to project delays
  • 4Syte Trade worked through supply issues by focusing on verified purchase orders

Lessons from 2020:

  • Stay calm, adapt fast, and be open to change
  • Success comes from structure, communication, and the right team culture

Looking Ahead:

  • 4Syte plans to continue growing with confidence in 2021
  • Focus remains on practical lending, strong relationships, and backing SMEs with a human approach
