Appointments at Ultimate
Last year Ultimate Finance announced ambitious growth plans following its acquisition by Renovo – now they’re backing their bold action with the hiring of a new sales team to cover the Midlands region.
Group sales director, Nick Smith, who joined earlier this year from Aldermore, commented: “A couple of months ago we announced that our vision is to build a truly national footprint for the business. We already have some presence in Leicestershire with our asset finance head office in Lutterworth, but now we’ve added two more experienced sales people to increase our coverage of the Midlands.
They join Steph Brown, who has been with us in the Midlands for a couple of months now. Steph ran her own successful commercial finance brokerage and is no stranger to the SME funding market in and around the Midlands.
Simon Hooks formerly with Metro SME Finance and Guy Jones who previously worked for Bibby Financial Services and RBS line up alongside Steph. Both have a solid background in invoice finance with lots of experience helping businesses in and around the Midlands.
Nick continued: “Now that all three are on board we have a much bigger team covering the Midlands than ever before. What’s more, they’re all extremely experienced and have been part of the corporate finance industry in that area for many years. These new signings not only demonstrate our intentions but also show our ability to attract high calibre people who are much in demand at the moment. Their decision to join Ultimate Finance is a huge endorsement of the fact that we have a number of innovative niche lending products that others struggle to match. I’m delighted to have them on board because they are all seasoned professionals who can hit the ground running.”
These new appointments further underline the fact that Ultimate Finance is intent on rapid growth, eager to help SMEs with tailored cashflow solutions and sees the Midlands area as a priority.
