MAF expands in the south with new director

The appointment is part of the national broker's ongoing growth strategy following its acquisition by Begbies Traynor Group in 2021.

Business development director, Mathew Stacey, is based in Essex and has spent 15 years as a relationship director for Barclays, helping hundreds of businesses with accessing funding over the last decade.

Stacey will be responsible for overseeing MAF's strategy in southern England and London regions to support both SMEs and larger businesses with their funding requirements. 

MAF managing director, Dave Chapman, said: "Businesses are increasingly looking at their funding strategies for growth as we continue to emerge from the pandemic, and we're looking forward to extending our offer to support more businesses with a range of finance solutions across the region.

Mathew Stacey added: "I'm excited to be joining such a well-respected commercial finance brokerage in MAF, and I'm very much looking forward to helping grow and develop businesses further by assisting SMEs in navigating the increasingly complex UK debt landscape.

"I am relishing the opportunity to expand awareness of the MAF offering and its various specialist divisions to my network so we can work together to help SMEs and deliver further growth across the UK."
