Bridging the finance gap for UK businesses

With more than 45 years in business, Gary brings a depth of experience shaped by both the highs and the challenges of commercial life. He spent 15 years as an Insolvency Consultant before moving into Bridging and Corporate Finance, where for the past 20 years he has focused on helping company directors secure the business finance they need. Gary places great value on relationships and works closely with a wide network of funding partners, allowing him to offer clients a broad range of funding options tailored to their circumstances.

Away from work, Gary is a keen Crown Green Bowls player. Having represented his county at a competitive level in previous years, he now enjoys playing at club level through the summer months. He holds strong Christian values and is devoted to supporting his family.

Mike is a UK business professional with over 30 years’ experience building finance lending companies, more recently acting as a personal funding partner to businesses and law firms. Alongside this, he undertakes selective advisory and non-executive work.

Mike was a founding partner of Beechwood Finance, a B2B business funding brokerage, where he led sales and funder relationships. He also built Michael Frazer Ltd from scratch into a business finance company with a £4M receivables book and negligible defaults. In 2019 he launched a UK litigation funding business, taking it from start-up through to sale in 2022. Since then, as an independent advisor, he has continued to develop B2B funding relationships with a carefully selected panel of lenders.

Mike holds a BSc (Hons) in Microbiology from Cardiff University and went on to carry out postgraduate cancer-related DNA research at Hammersmith and Velindre Hospitals.

Outside work, Mike has completed 29 ultramarathons and 11 marathons across Europe’s cities. He has now drawn a line under the longer distances but still hopes to add more marathons to his tally. Analogue photography keeps him out of trouble the rest of the time.
