Brightstar Group confirms changes at Sirius Property Finance

Sirius Property Finance has returned to being a wholly owned subsidiary of Brightstar Financial, after reacquiring the shareholding of Nicholas Christofi.

Christofi, who was a co-founder of the business and managing director for three years, will now leave the company along with minority shareholder, Leoni Alexandrou.

Sirius stated that both Christofi and Alexandrou have “contributed much to the growth” of the firm since joining, and that the Brightstar Group has wished them well in their new venture. They will leave to start a new business along with other personnel as part of a pre-planned and agreed arrangement.

The new management team is already in place at Sirius and further details will be confirmed in due course.

Christofi commented: “I would like to thank Rob and the team for all their combined efforts in supporting the success and development of Sirius since I first joined back in 2016. I am looking forward to beginning an exciting new venture outside of the Brightstar Group.”

Group CEO at Brightstar Group, Rob Jupp, added: “I would like to express my thanks to Nick, Leoni and the team members who leave Sirius to join in Nick’s next business venture for all their efforts since joining the business. We are proud of the entire team at Sirius Property Finance and look forward to seeing the growth and success of the business continue over the months and years ahead.”
