James Anderson joins the bridging lender from IRESS where he was Relationship Manager.

Joshua Elash, Director of MTF, said: “James brings a wealth of experience to MTF in business development and has an excellent understanding of the financial services market in the UK.

“His experience on the technology side is particularly beneficial as we continue to look for exciting new ways to innovate as a company, and to improve customer experiences and outcomes.
