Specialist asset-based lender Ultimate Finance has strengthened its team in key areas of the business as it looks to continue its mission to support the ambitions of UK businesses with cashflow to keep their business moving.
Four new Regional Sales Directors have been welcomed alongside a Client Relationship Manager. The new hires bring with them a huge amount of industry knowledge and experience and an impressive relationship driven approach to service. Their addition will ensure Ultimate Finance delivers on their growth ambitions.
The Southern and Midlands sales team sees the introduction of David Moran and Steve Armstrong. David is well known in the asset-based lending world and brings with him an enviable track record.
Commenting on his appointment David said “I am thrilled to have joined the team and have been impressed by how innovative and dynamic they are. I am looking forward to contributing to the continued growth by using my network of advisors to provide asset-based lending to SMEs across the South East.”
Steve Armstrong is based in the Midlands and with over 23 years’ experience is responsible for expanding Ultimate Finance’s presence within the region.
Speaking on his new position Steve said “I’m excited to be joining Ultimate Finance at such a pivotal time in their growth. Having spent the last 5 years predominantly supporting businesses with mergers, acquisitions and growth transactions, I can utilise their tailored funding solutions to give SMEs an even greater access to the liquidity they need.”
The Northern sales team sees the addition of Sean Thomson and Richard Leathley, both of whom have over 20 years’ experience and held senior positions within their previous organisations.
Sean commented “Ultimate Finance is extremely forward thinking in their breadth of proposition, and I am excited about presenting their flexible funding to my network of valued introducers.”
Richard added “I have joined a fantastic business with a genuine one-team approach to delivering funding solutions. It has been clear to see very quickly that they are proactive, dynamic and have a real desire to help businesses achieve their financial goals.”
With the lenders continued commitment to providing a personalised service model they have expanded their relationship management team with the appointment of Gavin Mories who joins as a Relationship Manager looking after the growing number of Scottish clients.
Gavin said “I am delighted to join Ultimate Finance and be part of a team with a proven track record of delivering service excellence, evidenced by their Trustpilot score. I strongly believe that is what set’s a lender apart. It’s already been a busy start to the year which has seen me out and about talking to my network and meeting new clients. “
After recording new business growth up 11% on 2023 and reaching an impressive milestone in their loan book of £342m in 2024, the growth in the team will allow the business to expand its regional footprint and expertly serve even more introducers and clients up and down the country.
