Charles Street Finance has appointed Michael Mather as sales manager as the lender looks to expand its broker and intermediary business.
Mather (pictured) joins the lender at its new headquarters in Cheadle, following roles at Manchester-based firms including Fiducia, Octopus Real Estate, Framework Mortgaging, Mint Property Finance and Bluecroft Finance.
He will focus on broker and intermediary sales, covering commercial finance products including unregulated bridging loans, commercial and semi-commercial term finance, buy-to-let mortgages and revolving credit facilities.
Mather will run a five-strong sales team covering the UK and will report to Carl Graham, corporate relationship director at Charles Street Finance.
The lender, which was established in 1983, said Mather would be responsible for helping brokers and clients access finance tailored to individual requirements, with a focus on completing transactions quickly.
Mather says: “I am delighted to be joining Charles Street’s winning team. I have known Carl for many years and have been impressed at the vision and growth of the Charles Street business in recent years.
“With a keen appetite to support commercial lending, I’m enthusiastic to help grow the business further.”
The appointment follows three other hires made by Charles Street in the past month, including business development managers covering the Midlands and Wales, Yorkshire and the Northeast, and London and the South.
Charles Street said the hires form part of its plan to expand its brand across key UK regions as it works towards growing a £1 billion loan book.
Graham adds: “I am really pleased to be building out the Charles Street team further and with Michael’s appointment heading up broker and intermediary sales we will be in an even better position to service the growing numbers of brokers’ commercial finance customers seeking fast and flexible finance.”
