Lawrence hails from KPMG, where he worked as an associate director in corporate finance for almost nine years.

This follows the specialist lender adding four people to its board in early June, leading to 30% female representation at this level, in line with its commitment to the Women in Finance Charter.

Lawrence comments: “The business is renowned for its first-class customer proposition, underpinned by the latest technology, high quality customer service and speed of execution.

“I look forward to helping Joshua Elash, Tomer Aboody and the rest of the management team achieve their goal of making MT Finance the leading property finance provider in the UK.”

Elash adds: “Ben is an exciting new recruit for the MT Finance Group and has been brought in to add immediate quality to the finance team. He will help further drive our push towards becoming a leading financial institution in the UK.”
