Bridging finance supplier revamp includes new MD and operations director

Bridging finance supplier Breeze Capital has recruited a new senior management team to strengthen its offering for investors and developers and allow it to grow its short-term lending in residential bridging and light refurbishment finance. It has also relaunched its website and refreshed its branding.

The company, which is owned by the Padley group, offers loans in England and Wales ranging from £50,000 to £1.8m, which are available exclusively through brokers.

New team office and website

Richard Padley took over as managing director in August, replacing former managing director Mark Harrison, who joined specialist legal finance lender Untangled as chief commercial officer.

Mike Williams, who has held senior roles including head of group distribution at Aldermore Bank and operations director at Shawbrook Bank, has joined as operations director.

Meanwhile, Steve Robinett and Lotty Glindon, both previously of Shawbrook Bank, have been appointed as senior underwriters.

A new office has been established in Peterborough, a new loan management system Kennek has been introduced and the company has also relaunched its branding and website.

Breeze Capital has been trading since 2022, specialising in funding purchases, auction acquisitions, chain breaks, refurbishment projects and development exits.
