# Work Investing
Work Investing is a property development funding specialist based in Glasgow, led by John Dalby, a veteran property funder with over four decades of experience in the UK market. The firm provides development finance solutions to property developers and investors across Scotland and beyond, leveraging extensive networks and deep market knowledge to structure funding arrangements that bring projects to completion.
The business serves ambitious property developers, established development companies, and investment firms seeking intelligent, flexible funding partners. They work particularly with clients navigating complex market cycles, unconventional project structures, or challenging financing requirements where traditional lenders may prove inflexible.
What distinguishes Work Investing is Dalby's rare combination of longevity, practical expertise, and relationship capital. Having established a major property bank in the 1980s and subsequently managed European property funding for Deutsche Bank, he brings institutional-grade experience to boutique-level responsiveness. His testimonials reveal a consistent pattern: developers and finance professionals praise his solution-driven approach, ability to innovate around market obstacles, and genuine commitment to successful project delivery rather than simply closing loans.
The firm's reputation rests on knowing both the Scottish property market intricately and the mechanics of structuring development finance creatively. Rather than applying formulaic lending criteria, Work Investing focuses on understanding each deal's fundamentals and finding pathways forward that work for all parties—funder, surveyor, lawyer, and client.
