Born and raised in the heart of the Lake District, I’ve always had a strong connection to the local community. After completing my degree in Accounting and Finance, I brought together my academic background and the hands-on experience gained from working in my family’s business from a young age. This early exposure gave me a real insight into the day-to-day realities of running a small or medium-sized business - the pressures, the potential, and the passion it takes to succeed. I'm excited to be part of the team at Mulberry, where I can put that experience to work in supporting SME clients across the region.
Born and raised in Cumbria, I’ve always had a passion for supporting local businesses. After several years working as an Executive Assistant and a few adventure-filled years living in Australia and New Zealand, I returned home in 2024 to launch my own freelance business helping small businesses with Business development and Marketing. Now with Mulberry Leisure, I’m combining my organisational skills, creativity, and love for the Lake District to help grow our online presence and build strong connections across the local hospitality community.
I started working for Mulberry in 2012 and my role has naturally developed over time. I initially started learning the ropes about asset finance, working with our existing customer base whilst reaching out to new businesses.
“Dundee Tyres Ltd is a tyre recycling company based in Carlisle, we needed a new machine to continue our expansion and Mike Robinson from Mulberry Asset Finance was on hand to assist. Our needs were specific and complex as the machine was sourced from overseas and was bespoke to our needs. The purchase went smoothly, and I would not hesitate in recommending Mulberry Asset Finance to any other Cumbrian Businesses.”
Simon Pluckrose, Managing Director, Dundee Tyres Ltd“D. Cain & Sons have had the pleasure in dealing with Mulberry Asset Finance for the past 10 years. We as a company have built a great relationship with Mike Robinson at Mulberry Asset Finance. Mike always goes above and beyond to provide his customers with an incredible service. D.Cain & Son would recommend Mulberry Asset Finance for all your financial enquiries.”
Darren Cain, MD, D Cain & Sons Ltd“I have used Mulberry Asset Finance several times for the Hire Purchase of coaches. I have always found their speed of operation and personal attention very satisfactory and I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.”
Barry Pickthall (JB Pickthall Coach Operator)“A & H CARLISLE LTD have used Mulberry Asset Finance since 2012 and I can’t speak highly enough of Mike and his team, they have helped our business grow and their knowledge of a customer needs is impressive.

Alan Falder, Managing Director, A & H Carlisle Ltd“I have used Mulberry Transport for ten years. They provide an excellent service for my business and I can access finance to buy the various wagons, machinery and other equipment that I need to run my business. Finance is agreed and arranged within one week, I highly recommend Mulberry Transport.”
Jimmy Dickinson, Director, J Dickinson Transport Ltd“The service provided by Mike was exceptional in terms of turnaround time, attention to detail and level of communication throughout the transaction. The consequence of this high level of service is that I approached only Mike and no other supplier to organise funding for my latest capital purchase, which again was handled impeccably.”

I am reassured that Mulberry Asset Finance will always get us the best deal without any fuss, allowing us to concentrate on the business and not have to worry about funding for new assets.”
