Truly surreal.

Four years ago I stepped away from a 30-year banking career to build something on my own.

No big machine behind me.
No marketing budget.
Very little support.

Just grit, vision, experience… and an unshakable belief in myself.

So to see DMK Finance shortlisted for Finance Partner of the Year alongside industry giants like Royal Bank of Scotland (Started my career here and had a brilliant 10 yrs there) Together Commercial Finance and Scotlend Group is something I am struggling to put into words.

Surreal doesn’t even cover it.

To have started my career at RBS three decades ago and now see my own brand recognised on the same stage makes me incredibly proud.

Without my banking foundations/training and the amazing people I have worked with in the industry from colleagues who taught me/great coaches/leaders/underwriters /my teams and clients all of which I have learned so much from along the way - I certainly not have been here today. I wish I could go bank and say thank you to so many people who positively influenced and shaped me throughout.

Huge congratulations to Team RBS, and the amazing teams at Together - loans, mortgages & finance and ScotLend Group all valued members of our funding panel and true professionals in our industry.

I was also incredibly proud to sponsor The Investment Agency Category of the Year and congratulations to the winners Rydens and runners-up Knight Frank. Very well deserved.

Most importantly thank you to the brilliant people building the DMK Finance brand with me.

This recognition belongs to all of us. Kevin Gaughan.. Kuran Singh Olak.. Graham Reid.. Iain Sim.. Bryan Redpath

A superb evening and 'a wee sair heed' this morn.

4 years.

What started as a plan for a lifestyle business has clearly had other ideas… the universe has been busy 👀

The last four years have been built on long hours, grit, resilience, and a lot of heart and sacrifices. None of this happens without the continued support of our clients and introducers who choose to trust DMK Finance with their business and property finance. That trust is everything and it reminds us daily why we do what we do.

I’m incredibly proud of what’s been achieved to date, and of the brilliant bunch of finance experts who have trusted me, my vision, and what we are building together. Alongside this, our funding partners continually remind us that the quality of how we present our clients’ finance requirements is first-class and recognised as one of the leaders in the industry, something I am extremely proud of. 37 years or banking experience helps for sure.

We’re building a strong brand across Scotland, grounded in standards, care, and doing things properly and founded on exceptional industry expertise.

The year ahead is looking exciting, and we are far from finished with our growth plans.

Thank you to our clients who have trusted us - insofar it's has truly been amazing to have delivered some simple and extremely complex transactions across the SME business community in Scotland.

Proud Finalists | Scottish Property Awards 2026

We’re extremely proud to share that DMK Finance has been named a Finalist for “Finance Partner of the Year” at the Scottish Property Awards 2026.

The Scottish Property Awards are widely recognised as one of the most prestigious events in Scotland’s property calendar, celebrating excellence across development, investment, and the professional services that support the sector.

For us, this recognition is particularly meaningful.

Over the last four years, DMK Finance has grown into a trusted boutique commercial finance brokerage, supporting businesses and property investors across Scotland with real, structured finance solutions, not soundbites or sales pitches.

As part of the judging process, we presented:

✔ Verified transactions

✔ Clear facts and figures

✔ Real Scottish property projects we’ve helped fund

✔ Bespoke finance structures supporting growth & regeneration

Being shortlisted alongside some of the industry’s most established names demonstrates that focused expertise, integrity, and delivery matter regardless of size.

A huge thank you to our clients and partners who trust us with their projects.

We’re excited to celebrate with the wider industry in February.

lovely to hear our wee team won 7-0 yesterday.

Not a PR post, just a note of gratitude.

When I transitioned from leading the Scotland Broker aTeam within Commercial Banking at Lloyds Banking Group to a senior leadership role at Blackhorse Finance, I found myself leading a UK wide business, £2.5bn back book, huge targets, and a team of 16 account managers spread across the UK Whilst this was a lateral move it was a massive stretch and challenge as it was a business i was not experienced in and hugely complex.

It was a time when the bank had to ensure their leadership team was diverse and I was delighted to secure the role. I was not prepared for the resentment of a team who did not welcome a female boss. Equally, they felt the role should have gone to one one of the experienced team and that brought its own set of hurdles for them, and for petite me. Unbeknown to them at the time i was one lady that would not be succeeding!

One person who stood out then, and still does today, is Billy Bryce. A senior figure in the team who instantly “got me.” He helped me understand the culture, the people, and guided the team to understand my role and what we were trying to achieve. He was my biggest supporter. Because of him, I made progress with winning hearts & minds across the team.

Fast forward to now Billy Blackhorse is retired, but still a huge advocate of me and DMK Finance. So, when he phoned and asked, “Donna, could DMK sponsor the strips for my lads’ team and local club?” The answer was easy: Yes.

Last night I had the privilege of watching the kids sign up for the new season, surrounded by proud parents. A lovely reminder of how life goes full circle.

👉 The moral? Don’t forget the people who supported you on your journey. If you can, pay it back.

Specialising in the property market, we are qualified banking experts with a passion for finance, collaborating with our clients to help deliver the absolute best finance solutions.
