Inspired Lending has appointed Nathan Wilson as lending manager as the business looks to expand its presence in the short-term lending market.
Wilson (pictured) joins the specialist lender with considerable experience, having spent nearly 10 years at United Trust Bank in the bridging finance team. During that time, he worked alongside Inspired Lending’s directors Gavin Diamond and Owen Bentley.
He was most recently a senior bridging underwriter at Hampshire Trust Bank.
In his new position, Wilson will be responsible for underwriting, case management and business development. He will work directly with brokers, aiming to deliver high service standards and support them in moving cases through to completion more efficiently.
In 2022, Wilson became the inaugural recipient of the Benson Hersch Memorial Award from the Bridging and Development Lenders Association (BDLA), recognising his excellent service and strong industry relationships.
Speaking about his appointment, Wilson said: “I am really pleased to be joining Inspired Lending, especially at such a busy and exciting time for the business. Having worked closely with Gavin and Owen before, I know how much importance they place on service and getting deals over the line.
“It is great to be part of a team that shares the same approach. I am looking forward to supporting brokers, giving them direct access to decision makers, and helping make the process as smooth and straightforward as possible.”

Gavin Diamond, director at Inspired Lending, added: “I’m delighted that Nathan has joined us and I’m looking forward to working with him again. He is a very experienced lending manager in the short-term lending industry with a strong reputation for excellent service and delivery. He is an excellent addition to our team and his appointment will assist with our continued growth.”
