MSP Capital appoints Tom Edmunds to lead Midlands business development
Property finance specialist MSP Capital has strengthened its sales team with the appointment of specialist finance professional Tom Edmunds as lead business development manager for the Midlands.
Tom joins the principal lender with more than ten years’ experience in bridging and development finance, having worked closely with brokers, developers, investors and project partners on a wide range of transactions.
Most recently, he was relationship director at Shawbrook Bank, tasked with supporting property professionals on the funding requirements needed to bring projects to life.
His industry experience is complemented by a background as a property investor, with Tom having pursued his own refurbishment projects, property flips and commercial property deals.
Tom said: “My background has been all about experiencing the challenges, opportunities and decisions involved in property investment first-hand.
“This has given me a genuine appreciation of the importance of having the right funding partner and the right support throughout the journey.
“That’s one of the reasons I’m joining MSP Capital. The business has built an excellent reputation for taking a relationship-led approach and providing flexible bridging and development finance solutions that help clients achieve their goals.
“I’m looking forward to reconnecting with existing contacts, building new relationships across the Midlands, and working alongside brokers, developers and investors to support their ambitions. I’m excited to be part of the MSP Capital team, sourcing opportunities, promoting our lending products, and assisting the underwriting team to ensure deals progress efficiently through to completion.”
Tom’s appointment forms part of MSP Capital’s ongoing growth strategy, with the business looking to expand its geographical reach while strengthening its relationships with mortgage brokers and intermediaries across the UK.
Adam Tovey, commercial director at MSP Capital, said: “Tom’s appointment is an important step as we continue to evolve the business and build our presence across more core regions of the UK.
“The Midlands is a hugely important property market, with a diverse range of developers, investors and businesses who require flexible, relationship-led finance. Tom brings a wealth of experience, strong relationships and a genuine understanding of property from both the lending and investment perspectives.
“We want to work more closely with brokers and intermediaries on a national basis, while continuing to build the strong relationships that have always been at the heart of MSP Capital. Expanding our geography and strengthening our team in key regions such as the Midlands will help us do that.
“Ultimately, it’s about continuing to evolve and grow, and making MSP Capital an even stronger partner for our customers in the years ahead.”
Tom’s arrival follows the appointment earlier this year of business development manager Michael Halsey who is working to grow and deepen MSP Capital’s relationships with brokers and property developers in London, Essex, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire.
