Charles Curran: 'It is still business as usual' in PCL despite the Budget's 'selection of crackers taxes'
Last week's Labour Budget was 'driven by ideology, penalising those they simply did not need to tax or tax further,' argues top-end estate agency boss Charles Curran.
Prior to setting up Conster Capital Ventures, the parent company of Maskells Estate Agents, Charles held senior positions at Bear Stearns, Bank of Scotland and Societe Generale where he specialized in Mortgage Backed Securities (Residential and Commercial), Asset Backed Securities and Structured Credit. Charles assists the teams with market data analysis, asset valuations and deals with the company’s financial institution clients. Charles also looks after White Circle Collection (www.whitecirclecollection.com), the multi-family office sister company to Maskells. Charles is bilingual French.
