Michael Stratton

Michael founded MS Lending Group in January 2021 and prior to that has over 13 years’ experience in the secured industry. His previous role included over 10 years at the UK’s largest specialist lender, Together.

He is experienced in managing and maintaining large accounts, and has strong corporate relationships.

Michael’s day to day is focused on business growth and the overall direction of the business, however he still gets a buzz and thoroughly enjoys maintaining relationships with brokers and direct customers and seeing a deal through from enquiry to completion.

“At the end of 2020, in the middle of a pandemic, and after 15 years’ experience at one of the biggest bridging lenders, I set up MS Lending Group. I recognised there was a gap in a huge bridging market for an agile and dynamic lender. At MS Lending Group we are constantly listening to our partners to ascertain their needs, so we can service them best. Our speed, service and flexibility is at the heart of what we do.

We will never let a client down and pride ourselves on the mantra, ‘we are what we do, not what we say we will do’.

Our service is at the heart of everything we do, and we will always deliver for our clients. We believe in relentlessly refining our skills and knowledge as a team and individuals. And we know each member is invaluable.

It may sound cliché but MS Lending Group really is a family made up of an incredible group of people who all work in cohesion to deliver the best possible service for our clients.
