By Bridging Loan Directory 11th May 2020

Stretton Capital, the privately funded short term lender based in Chester, has today announced two senior promotions.

Natalie Smethurst, pictured above, formerly Head of Underwriting, has been promoted to Director of Risk & Recovery and Gemma Wray, previously Financial Controller of Stretton Capital and Stretton Property, has been promoted to Finance Director.

Natalie joined Stretton in September 2018 and had previously worked for a number of high street and short term lenders in credit and risk over a 20 year career in financial services.

Gemma, pictured below, joined in September 2019 and has extensive experience within accounting and finance across a number of international and domestic blue chip organisations.

Mark Harrison, Director of Business Development said:

“Naturally we are delighted for both Natalie and Gemma. They are hugely important and integral members of our team and these promotions are testament to their dedication, ability and relentless hard work in getting the job done.

Credit Risk & Finance are two of the most important functions within any business, none more so than during the turbulent times we find ourselves in, so whilst these roles have taken on extra significance lately, we are firmly planning for the future and our continued growth and these promotions lay the groundwork for that.”
