Richard Harrop
Joining Acorn with a respected track record in the industry spanning 16 years, Richard has been with the company since its inception in November 2003. He relishes the diversity of clients and structures, which ensures no day is ever the same. Richard has great faith in Acorn’s future and hails its independence, ability to think outside the box and reaction time as its biggest strengths. With a calm approach to business and a respected book of corporate contacts, Richard is often called upon for sound advice and business lending solutions.
Out of the office Richard is kept on his toes by his three teenage children, but unwinds on the golf course trying to improve his four handicap! Mandatory for an Acorn man, his greatest indulgence is good food and wine, enjoyed with family or friends.
