ThinCats part of the Shawbrook Group
ThinCats, a leading alternative lender to the UK SME market, today announced the completion of its acquisition by Shawbrook.
The acquisition marks a significant milestone in the ThinCats journey, recognising the strength of its business, the trust it has built with customers, and its reputation for delivering innovative funding solutions for mid-sized SMEs.
For customers, nothing changes. ThinCats will continue to operate with the same brand, and the same commitment to helping businesses grow. With the added backing and scale of Shawbrook, the business is now even better positioned to expand its offering and support growth for mid-sized SMEs across the UK.
As part of this transition, Amany Attia, CEO, and Ravi Anand, MD, will be stepping away from the business. Their strong leadership and vision have been instrumental in building ThinCats into the leading alternative lender in the SME market, with a reputation for reliability, innovation and service. Amany will remain involved for the next three months to support the transition and ensure continuity for customers and employees.
“We are proud of what we’ve built and grateful to our customers and partners who have trusted us along the way. Joining Shawbrook is an exciting new chapter that will allow us to do even more for the SME community. Our customers can be assured that we will continue to operate the same way, with continuity in relationships and service, while gaining the strength of additional resources and scale to support their future growth. We are hugely grateful to Amany and Ravi for everything they’ve achieved in building such a strong business and we wish them every success in their future ventures.” Mike Hackett, chief commercial officer
