MSP Capital Appoints Property Deals Professional To Speed Broker Growth



Property finance specialist MSP Capital has appointed an experienced lending professional to strengthen its reach into the broker and developer community in the South East of England.


Business Development Manager Michael Halsey will work to grow and deepen relationships with brokers and property developers in London, Essex, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire. He will play a key role in originating new business, supporting intermediaries with deal structuring while ensuring brokers have seamless access to funding across MSP Capital’s core bridging and development finance solutions.


Michael brings more than a decade of experience in the property finance sector, including in brokerage, underwriting and business development. He began his career in 2013 as a mortgage broker at First Union Mortgages before specialising in second charge loans at a provider within the Enra Specialist Finance group. He later moved to West One Loans where he helped to grow a broker network while supporting the underwriting process.


Most recently, he expanded a regional broker network at Hertfordshire-based Alternative Bridging.

At MSP Capital, Michael will leverage this experience to support brokers through the deal lifecycle, from initial enquiry to completion, helping them navigate and unlock new opportunities for their developer clients.


Adam Tovey, Commercial Director at MSP Capital, said:

“Michael brings a wealth of experience across both broking and lending, as well as a strong track record of building meaningful relationships in the intermediary market."

“Brokers are central to our growth strategy, particularly in London and the South East, and Michael’s knowledge of these regions, combined with his hands-on approach, will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our support for our broker partners.”


Michael said:

“MSP Capital has built a strong reputation for its relationship-led approach and ability to deliver tailored funding solutions. I look forward to working closely with brokers and developers across London and the South East."

“The aim is to build lasting partnerships and help them access the funds they need to progress and complete property schemes that deliver much-needed homes for people.”

A Lake District based hotel group has a new chocolatier on its books, thanks to a training course with the Yorkshire Academy of Chocolate and Patisserie.


Resident chef de partie at Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa Traviss Locke completed the chocolate making qualification at the academy run by international chocolatier and consultant Andrew Thwaite.


The chocolatier course, which was fully funded through the English Lakes Hotels Personal Development Fund, has equipped Traviss with a range of chocolate making technical skills and recipes.


Traviss, 34, has always had a passion for making his own chocolate and was keen to explore further opportunities for learning new skills and experimenting with the latest innovative techniques.


“I thoroughly enjoyed the course training and gained tonnes of valuable experience,” explains Traviss. “We each had a practical chocolate making assignment to complete and I made an enormous chocolate egg which I donated to the hotel.”


“I’m incredibly grateful to English Lakes Hotels for supporting me through this course and also in attaining my City and Guilds Level 3 chef de partie standard qualification through the hotel group’s own Culinary Academy.”


Traviss’ giant chocolate egg was displayed at Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa reception, with guests entered into a prize draw to acquire it. All proceeds from the draw were then donated to the hotel group’s Sam’s Club Charity which supports local charities and good causes.


Michael Kay from English Lakes Hotels Resorts & Venues says: “Our personal development fund is available for team members to upskill existing talents, develop their career skills or broaden their horizons.”


“Training programmes or courses can be mutually agreed in most disciplines. The aim is to get the best out of all our teams and give everybody the opportunity to progress in their career choices. It also helps to engender a stronger work life balance for our employees.”
