White Oak UK has announced the appointment of Matt Phillips (pictured above) as its new head of broker and strategic partnerships.

The SME finance provider has promoted Matt, who joined the company in 2009 and previously served as sales team manager with a team of 50 direct sales professionals.

In 2015, he helped to create White Oak UK’s client referral scheme, which has generated over £87m in origination from more than 230 approved introducers.

Speaking about his new role, Matt said: “My goal is to work with the broker community and provide them with great products that fulfil both their needs and the needs of their customers, all of which will be supported by great service from people who understand their individual requirements.”

White Oak UK rebranded from LDF earlier this year and provided over £511m in funding to UK businesses in 2017.

Andy Davies, group sales director at White Oak UK, added: “Matt’s appointment demonstrates our commitment to increase our presence in the larger end of the SME market, and further engagement with the broker community will help us to achieve this goal.

“Matt will drive the expansion of our broker offering, ensuring that we provide a range of products that no other funder can match.”
