Haydock Finance has appointed Laura Kinghorn (pictured above) as head of broker, further strengthening its broker team.

Laura brings more than 20 years of experience in sales, business development and financial services, working with brokers and helping businesses access funding.

Her career has included senior roles at Funding Circle and TSB, as well as her most recent position at Propel Finance.

In her new role, Laura will lead the broker team, building on existing partnerships and helping to drive the next stage of the business's growth.

Laura said: “Having recently reached the £1bn mark in its lending book, it’s an exciting time to be joining the business and leading the broker team into its next chapter.

“What has particularly impressed me in my first few weeks is the strength of our appetite to lend and the determination across the business to find solutions and make deals happen.

“Having worked closely with brokers for many years, I understand just how important it is to have a lender that listens, and delivers.

“I’m ambitious about what we can achieve together, both in growing our lending book and ensuring Haydock remains a lender brokers can rely on and trust.”

Andrea O’Brien, sales director at Haydock Finance, said: “Laura brings a wealth of experience and a real understanding of what brokers need from a funding partner.

“She knows the importance of building strong relationships, being accessible and finding solutions that help brokers support their SME clients.

“Her experience across different parts of the finance market gives her a valuable perspective, and she shares our determination to make doing business with Haydock as straightforward and effective as possible.”
