"There has been significant growth in the bridging loans industry and Bridgingloans.com has been at the forefront of educating the marketplace about the benefits of bridging finance," commented Martyn Smith, Managing Director of Bridgingloans.com.

"Education needs to be done to change the perceptions of why people bridge and to open up opportunities for new markets for short-term finance. It's a really exciting time in this market and I am delighted to be at Bridgingloans.com at a time when there are immense opportunities in the bridging loans sector.
