First West Capital expands into Ontario, hires Roynat's David Hastie

First West Capital, the mezzanine and subordinated debt lending arm of Langley, B.C.-based credit union First West Credit Union, announced it is expanding into Ontario. The firm, which has closed over $110 million in business since 2010, said the move is based on its belief that "mid-market Ontario companies are under-served in terms of their access to capital." First West also announced it has hired David Hastie to lead its operations in Toronto as a regional director. Hastie, who has over 12 years of experience in investment and commercial banking, was previously a district director at Roynat Capital.
