Caelan joins LendInvest after beginning his career in bridging as a business development executive at REIM Capital.

During his time at REIM, Caelan established Young People in Bridging (YPIB), a networking group that hosts meetups for under 35s in the bridging industry.

Caelan commented: “What really excited me about joining LendInvest was the chance to keep developing and learning.

“Coming from a boutique bridging background, I'm looking forward to stepping into the wider specialist lending market and building my experience.

“There's real potential in the market where specialist lenders like LendInvest can support all types of property investors and developers from quick auction purchases to more complex refurb GDV financing, all with the added benefit of supporting BTL exits.

“I'll fit into that by building on strong broker relationships and supporting deals as they progress.”

Leanne Ardron, managing director for short-term lending at LendInvest, said: “If 2025 taught us anything, it’s that this year will further prove that short-term lending is no longer a niche, but a powerful tool that can offer a wide range of flexible funding options for property investors.

“That’s why I’m thrilled to bring Caelan to the specialist bridging team here at LendInvest.

“He brings to the team his boutique bridging background and an energy that will blend in perfectly with the fast-paced bridging finance market.”
