Craig Reeves, founder of the Prestige group, said: “Premium Alziraea is our first Islamic - Impact financing product and is targeting an exceptionally important part of the UK economy at a critical time in its ongoing development.”
The Bedell Cristin team was led by Partners Richard Le Liard and Stephen Nelson.
