Avamore Capital doubles origination team with three new hires

Avamore Capital has doubled its origination team with the appointment of three relationship managers.

Lauren Mills joins from a commercial finance brokerage background where she specialised in bridging and development finance and managed a team of brokers and administrators across the full commercial lending spectrum. In her new role as a relationship manager within the London area, Lauren will continue to use her broker background to strengthen relationships, anticipate challenges and deliver swift, solutions-led outcomes.

Tom Morrissey brings land, investment and property development consultancy experience, having sourced and completed transactions across a range of asset classes and deal sizes. With an RICS-accredited degree in Property Planning & Development, he will strengthen Avamore’s ability to assess complex development opportunities and support brokers within the London area. His agency background gives Tom a strong understanding of the development process and enables him to assess different potential angles and exit routes for a site.

Samantha Graydon brings nearly a decade of property finance experience across bridging, development and term lending. She began her career in 2016 as a business development executive at Castle Trust before progressing into relationship management roles, where she oversaw the South West region. Samantha will provide relationship-led support in the South and South West Region.

Adam Butler, director of sales and marketing at Avamore Capital, said: “This has been a period of exceptional growth for Avamore, driven by strong broker demand and our ability to consistently deliver solutions on complex transactions. 

"Expanding the origination team was a natural next step to support that momentum. Lauren, Tom and Samantha each bring valuable experience and a relationship-led mindset that aligns perfectly with our culture. Importantly, this is not the end of our growth journey, we remain actively focused on continuing to expand the team as we scale the business further throughout 2026.”
