It has been a busy year at LGB and there is plenty more to come. As our Capital Markets and Investments activities keep expanding, and with exciting plans in the works for the year ahead, we are pleased to introduce Max Wigginton as Portfolio Manager and Caitlin Rimington as Transaction Manager. Both joined in October 2026, and they strengthen the teams that support our issuers and investors.
Max comes to us from CSBF Capital Partners, a specialist short-term real estate lender. As a Credit Analyst there, he underwrote bridging loans secured against UK property. He saw deals through from enquiry to completion and carried out analysis of the funded loan book to make sure live loans kept performing in line with their original underwriting. Before that he interned at LendInvest and he also holds a BSc in Economics from the University of York. Away from his desk, Max is a keen endurance athlete. He used to row and now takes on triathlons and marathons.
Max will oversee the ongoing management of our MTN Programmes. Working alongside Managing Director Andrew Boyle and Associate Director Omar Haroun, he will monitor issuer performance, lead on reporting and keep our relationships with issuers strong. He says:
Caitlin’s background is in operations at a fast-growing consumer business, where she managed supplier relationships, coordinated product launches and kept complex timelines on track. She studied Politics at Newcastle University. When she is not keeping transactions on schedule, you will find her enjoying music and sport.
Caitlin will help execute and coordinate transactions across Capital Markets and Investments, making sure every deal moves smoothly from origination to completion. In her words:
Andrew Boyle, Founder and Managing Director, adds:
With exciting plans ahead, it is great to have Max and Caitlin with us.
