MAF boosts healthcare division with new director appointment

Based in Derbyshire, Mark Lawson will enhance MAF’s coverage for healthcare businesses across the country, specialising in the pharmacy and dental markets.

Prior to joining MAF, he spent over a decade at NatWest, five years of which were as a relationship manager, before moving to Santander as relationship director in the healthcare arena for 13 years.

Mark is the first person in 2020 to join MAF’s healthcare division, which is headed up by Head of Healthcare, Mike Gascoigne, since its launch in October last year.

On joining Midlands Asset Finance, he said:

“I am delighted to be joining MAF and the healthcare team, bringing over 20 years of experience with me to support the growth of the healthcare and medical sectors across the UK.

“It’s an exciting time to join the business as it continues to go from strength to strength and remains committed to investing in further growth.”

Mike Gascoigne added: 

“Mark joining MAF is a great coup for the business.

“With his sound knowledge of the medical sectors and wide-ranging contacts, I’m sure he will add value to operators that need financial support over the coming months.

“I know Mark is looking forward to working closely with the existing team to carry on the great progress we have made since launching the Healthcare division in late 2019, where we have supported healthcare operators throughout the COVID period.

“We are looking forward to a successful 2021.”
