Aldermore Invoice Finance has appointed Lisa Cleaver as its operations director.

She is based in Aldermore’s Birmingham office and will be working closely with Chris Dailey, operations director at Aldermore Bank, and Damon Walford, managing director of Aldermore Invoice Finance.

Before joining Aldermore, Cleaver (pictured) spent 14 years with Bibby Financial Services where she held a variety of operational, product and market development roles. These included two overseas secondments in Australia and Ireland and leading the UK export finance business.

She said: “Aldermore Invoice Finance has established itself as a dynamic and progressive business with a real commitment to helping small and medium sized businesses throughout the UK.

“It’s my role to ensure that Aldermore continues to build on its already strong reputation for quality and reliability and I’m looking forward to working with the team across the whole business.”

Walford added: ‘I would like to welcome Lisa to Aldermore. Her extensive experience and knowledge of the invoice finance industry will hold her in good stead and I have no doubt Lisa will be able to make a very positive contribution to the future development of the company.”
