Published by Will Michelmore, 2025
Bridge Finance for Devon Couple to Expand Farm.

David and Mary, who own a farm near Sidmouth, were given a chance to buy neighbouring land. However, there was a challenge: the sale had to go through quickly, but the asset they planned to sell to fund the purchase faced unexpected delays.

David is a beef farmer and Mary is a renowned British equestrian and Olympian, celebrated for her exceptional career in eventing.

Mary said: “We had a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase adjoining farmland but we had to move quickly. Fortunately for us, Bricks was able provided us with temporary funds in just a few days.

Will Michelmore of Bricks said: “We were very happy to assist by offering short-term finance that was successfully processed and approved within three days of the initial application. We understand that timely financial support is crucial, and we are pleased to have delivered a fast, reliable solution for David and Mary.

Mary concluded: “I found Bricks friendly, efficient and straight forward to work with. I highly recommend talking with them to discuss if what they offer suits your needs.
