Impact Lending, part of Impact Capital Group, has appointed Wes Friedel as head of credit, and Matthew Lawrence and Holly Dormer as business development managers (BDMs).

Friedel has over 16 years’ real estate lending experience and joins from Acre Lane Capital where he was head of underwriting. Prior to Acre Lane, he held senior roles at PropFin, Masthaven Bank, and Mercantile Trust.

Lawrence has over 10 years’ experience within financial services and started his career with Barclays Bank in the corporate baking team. He joins Impact from Castle Trust Bank, where he was responsible for generating new business with top broker accounts in the London area.

Dormer has over five years’ experience in real estate finance across commercial and residential development and, like Friedel, joins from PropFin where she managed large development deals. She held previous roles at Octopus Property Finance, Peritus Corporate Finance and NatWest.

All three will be supporting Impact Lending to provide financing solutions to external developers, including a product range dedicated to sustainable development.

David Travers, CEO of Impact Lending, said: “Wes, Matthew and Holly are just the right people to take Impact Lending to the next level and will encourage all of our clients to consider building using sustainable construction methods on their future developments, and contribute to the green recovery initiative.

“Given their many years of experience and financial background, I feel sure that all three will meaningfully expedite the growth plans for Impact Lending and the rest of the group.”
