Bridging lender Market Financial Solutions (MFS) has appointed Samantha Graydon as its latest business development manager.

This is MFS’s second BDM hire in 2019, and the fourth in the last six months.

Graydon (pictured) previously worked for Castle Trust Capital and Octopus Property. Part of her role will include managing inquiries from the South of England.

Paresh Raja, CEO of MFS, said: “Samantha’s appointment comes at an exciting time for MFS. There is a clear market appetite for bridging loans, and with MFS having recently secured a new funding line, we have in-house funds ready to deploy.

“Importantly, while other lenders might be deterred from handling enquiries due to the current political uncertainty, the ongoing expansion of our sales team means that MFS is ready to meet the needs of brokers and clients, enabling us to take on new bridging deals with speed and exceptional service.”

Graydon added: “I have been working in the specialist lending market for three years and I’ve been constantly impressed by MFS’ ability handle the more complex cases that most lenders would turn away. Paresh and his team think outside the box, and this creative thinking has made them renowned industry leaders when it comes to handling complex deals.

“I look forward to supporting MFS’ onward expansion of its bridging loan services in the South of England, and will be on hand to support brokers and borrowers in need of bridging finance for residential, commercial and buy-to-let purchases.”
