Charles Street Finance appoints new intermediary sales manager

Charles Street Finance has hired a new intermediary sales manager as the lender looks at pursuing plans to grow a £1billion loan book. 

Michael Mather 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.

Michael’s focus at Charles Street will be on broker and intermediary sales, offering a range of commercial finance products such as unregulated bridging loans, commercial and semi-commercial term, buy-to-let mortgages and revolving credit facilities (RCF).

Michael will run a sales team of five, covering the whole of the UK, and reports to Carl Graham, Charles Street’s corporate relationship director.

Michael is the latest of four Charles Street appointments in the past month. He joins business development managers (BDMs) in the Midlands and Wales, Yorkshire and the North East, and London and the South.

Michael Mather said: "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."

Carl Graham added: "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."
