All our Board are time-served industry professionals. John and Stuart Williams own a major asset finance brokerage together with operating their own significant direct lending operation, providing funding support themselves to the same market. Steve Fletcher and John Wilson previously owned a whole-of-market brokerage that provided SME commercial and regulated funding solutions for more than a decade.
Both businesses have worked collaboratively for years - and from this close working relationship the concept of Panacea was developed - to fulfil clear market demand for localised funding delivered direct to the client in clear and simple terms, by the decision makers.
