Albatross Lending Group: Strategic Investment by Gibraltar-Based Family Office
Albatross Lending Group is pleased to announce it has secured a significant strategic investment by a multi-diversified, Gibraltar-based family office. This transaction, representing a 26% equity stake acquired through an eight-figure transaction, marks a pivotal milestone in the Group’s ongoing growth and development.
Founded in 2020 by Lewis Casserley and Jordan Fearnley Brown, Albatross Lending Group has established itself as a leading specialist lender within the United Kingdom. The partnership with the Gibraltar-based family office, recognised for its technology-focused investment strategy, will further strengthen Albatross’s position in the market and support its long-term objectives.
The investment will provide substantial equity capital to facilitate the expansion of Albatross’s lending divisions, accelerate technological innovation, and enhance operational scalability. Following the recent launch of the SME Lending Division, the deal supports their divisional growth plans, particularly becoming a market-leader in the SME Lending space, enabling Albatross to deliver flexible, principal-led capital solutions to small and medium-sized enterprises across the UK.
The decision by the family office to invest in Albatross Lending Group was driven by the company’s disciplined approach to growth, robust fundamentals, differentiated lending model, and the ambition demonstrated by its leadership team.
This announcement follows a transformative year for Albatross Lending Group, characterised by strategic senior appointments, the securing of substantial debt capital, and the successful launch of the SME Lending Division.
Co-founders Lewis Casserley and Jordan Fearnley Brown stated: “We are honoured to announce this strategic partnership, which represents a significant endorsement of Albatross Lending Group’s vision and capabilities. The addition of a partner with deep funding resources and technological expertise will be instrumental in advancing our mission to deliver market-leading financial solutions. We extend our gratitude to all stakeholders who have contributed to our progress and remain committed to driving innovation and excellence in the specialist lending sector.”
