Aldermore has announced that Andy Geagen has been appointed to the role of regional sales manager for the East of England for its invoice finance division.

Based in Aldermore’s Peterborough office and reporting to Midlands regional managing director, Tony Smedley, Geagen (pictured) is responsible for helping businesses strengthen their cashflow through the use of invoice finance.

Geagen joins Aldermore from NatWest, where he was a senior manager working from the bank’s Peterborough commercial office to provide owner-managed businesses with invoice finance, trade finance and asset finance funding solutions alongside more traditional types of funding.

He said: “This is an exciting time to be joining Aldermore, which is developing a strong reputation as a new generation bank that is truly committed to supporting businesses throughout the country.

“It’s great to be part of such a dynamic team and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with businesses across the East of England.”

Smedley added: “I would like to welcome Andy to Aldermore and wish him every success in developing his career with the bank. Andy has a detailed knowledge of business finance and considerable experience of working with the business community. I have no doubt he will be welcomed by business owners throughout the region.”
