Mandy has more than 11 years of experience in materials handling and built close relationships with her introducers in her previous position as account manager at Aldermore.

Investec hopes that those existing relationships will strengthen the lender’s client relationship team.

The appointment comes after Investec’s materials handling business enjoyed a period of growth having lent over £130m to thousands of UK businesses since launching three years ago.

Mandy said she was very excited to be joining Investec as she felt it was a business that stood out in the materials handling market.

“The level of experience on the team – coupled with Investec’s focus on client service and the team’s commitment to their partners and the sector more widely through sponsoring IMHX – has created an exceptional foundation for their success.

“I look forward to working with them and building on that success further.”

Andrew Woodward, head of Investec materials handling, said he was thrilled to add Mandy to its team and said every month it was adding more and more introducers to its network.

“Part of the reason for that is that we work closely with our partners to develop the flexible financing solutions clients need.

“We work hard to build these relationships and Mandy’s experience and network will be a great asset for us as we continue to grow and support this market for the long term.”
