Loans Warehouse expands bridging division with two new appointments

Loans Warehouse has announced the expansion of its specialist bridging division with the appointment of Aled Coleman and Max Shenstone.

Max Shenstone has experience in both the lending and brokerage sides of the industry. Beginning his career at Nationwide in 2018, Max later transitioned into specialist finance broking, developing knowledge across bridging and property finance solutions.

Aled Coleman started his career in mortgage administration before gaining his qualifications and achieving competency status in 2020. His progression through the industry has given him an operational and advisory background within specialist lending.

The expansion comes at a pivotal time for the bridging market, with the sector continuing to navigate recent disruption after Market Financial Solutions (MFS) entered administration amid allegations of fraud earlier this year.

Vikki Edwards, head of bridging & development at Loans Warehouse, said: "Both Max and Aled bring a wealth of experience to our award-winning bridging team. Their knowledge, professionalism and understanding of the specialist lending market make them fantastic additions as we continue to scale the business.

"We’re well into Q2 and fully aware of the challenges currently facing the market. However, after a record-breaking few months, we’re confident about continuing to grow to new heights throughout 2026, particularly as we expand our offering further with the addition of commercial lending products."
