Mr Halley, who will work alongside founder Jamie Lindsay, brings additional strength and strategic direction as the business continues to scale and support businesses across the UK with tailored funding solutions.

Mr Johnstone has played a pivotal role in driving the growth of Breadalbane’s property division over the past three years.

His promotion “reflects both his outstanding contribution and our commitment to providing clients with the highest levels of expertise, service and sector insight in an increasingly complex funding environment”, the company said.

Commenting on the appointments, Jamie Lindsay, founder of Breadalbane Finance, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Peter Halley to the leadership team, alongside the well-deserved promotion of our outstanding colleague, James Johnstone, to director later this month.

“The market is evolving rapidly and our clients need a partner who can navigate complexity and move quickly. That’s exactly what Peter and the wider team bring to the table.

“This is a major step forward for the business and I’m genuinely excited about what we’ll achieve together as we drive the next phase of growth across key areas including asset finance, commercial loans and mortgages, invoice discounting and bridging finance.”
