“He is equally as ambitious as us, and we are excited to have him on the journey with us as we continue to scale and grow our business in the specialist lending space and beyond. He’s the perfect fit for Morpheus and will join our senior leadership team with immediate effect.
“Stu has been supporting us for over a year now, having known him since our time at The University of York together. His skill set, professionalism, and approach to providing the best possible service to our clients is exactly what Morpheus is all about. Likewise, running a business alongside one of your best mates is great.”
Gohel commented: “I was immediately drawn to their technology and innovation-first approach to the sector, which is typically unheard of. Also working alongside such a credible and experienced team and board, as well as being involved from such an early stage of its growth journey, meant it was an opportunity I could not miss.”
Dunk commented: “Having known Matt since we were teenagers and then [been] involved in the Morpheus journey since inception, I was thoroughly excited to join the team officially in March. The business is truly pushing a new way to do specialist lending and I’m here to continue supporting Matt and the board on this journey.”
Morpheus Lending launched to market last year and recently launched a dual representation offering.
In an interview with this publication, Mawdesley said it would be targeting around £10m per month by the end of the year.
