In his new role, Mark – who has held senior positions at Merrill Lynch, GE Capital and Amicus – will spearhead Stretton’s marketing and sales operations.
Stretton Capital – which was founded in 2016 – has lent more than £20m across the UK through bridging and development loans.
Mark said that he was delighted to be joining the company.
- Property experts remain positive despite Brexit uncertainty
- What proportion of the bridging market is funded by private money?
- Are we likely to see more non-principal lenders enter bridging?
“As soon as I met Ed Chantler, David Thrussell and the team, I knew this is where I wanted to be.
“They have a true entrepreneurial approach to short-term lending, which is reflected in our product suite and a simple no-nonsense process, which I know will make us the ‘go-to’ lender for many brokers throughout the UK.”
Earlier in the year, Stretton recruited commercial manager Matthew Gammond from Racefields and has since hired underwriter Natalie Smethurst from Seneca.
