In an exclusive interview with Bridging & Commercial, Danny Girnun, director at Merchant Money (pictured above), attributed the company’s new recruits to its recent business surge.
“September was our second-biggest lending month for 2019.
“It was a strong month in terms of actual volume [and we’ve] got some big targets and numbers that we're trying to hit in November and December.”
Over the past three months, Merchant Money has brought in three additional business development broker specialists, that have previous experience of managing and dealing with brokers, and an extra person in its direct department.
“…We've got a strong infrastructure in terms of both people and systems.
“That will definitely help us to take Merchant Money to the next phase of its lifecycle.
“[There’s been] some big growth up until now and, with this investment, we're definitely [going to be] on track for some further growth.”
