The SME lender has appointed Nick Haggitt as head of sales, Matthew Taylor as senior regional director, and Chris Mitcham as regional director.

The three new hires bring with them a combined total of over 50 years of experience in the sales and financial services sector, including time at challenger banks, alternative lenders and high street banks.

At Ultimate Finance, they will be responsible for ensuring that the lender delivers support and financial solutions to small businesses throughout London and the South East, while driving increased business growth and awareness.

The appointments come after Ultimate Finance reported a 150% growth since it was acquired by Tavistock Group in July 2015 and reached the £200m lending milestone this summer.

Ron Robson, CEO at Ultimate Finance (pictured above), said it was vital that companies in London and the South East were given the support needed to not only survive, but thrive during these testing times.

“This is why we’ve invested in three senior appointments within the regional sales team, making sure we further strengthen our offering in the area and continue to deliver the fast and flexible funding small businesses need.

“I’m proud to see just how passionate they are about joining us on the Ultimate Finance journey. 

“Our latest results highlight the continued growth the business has enjoyed, and I look forward to the team continuing to meet and exceed expectations.”
