Ampla Finance adds three to team as it builds support for introducers

Published on

Ampla Finance has made three senior team changes across underwriting, compliance and growth as the specialist lender looks to strengthen its service for introducers and their clients.

The lender, which focuses on legal finance and inheritance-related lending, has appointed Brogan Buckley as head of compliance and money laundering reporting officer, Becky Dixon as growth manager, and promoted Grace Fuller to head of underwriting.

Ampla said the changes were intended to support closer working with introducers through more consistent underwriting, stronger regulatory oversight and clearer communication during the lending process.

Fuller has been with the business for nearly five years and has previously held roles including operations manager, risk operations manager and underwriting manager.

In her new role, she will lead the underwriting team, oversee credit decisions across both product lines, review more complex applications and act as an escalation point for higher-risk cases. She will also oversee case management.

Buckley joins with more than 12 years of experience in financial services regulation, including roles at the Financial Conduct Authority, in regulatory consultancy and in senior in-house compliance positions.

At Ampla, she will oversee the firm’s compliance and financial crime frameworks, manage regulatory reporting and act as the main contact with the FCA. Her remit also includes anti-money laundering controls, customer due diligence, sanctions screening, financial crime monitoring and complaints oversight.

Dixon joins as growth manager after five years in specialist finance. She has worked with brokers across bridging, refurbishment and short-term lending, supporting deal packaging and working alongside underwriting teams to progress cases.

At Ampla, she will support the firm’s growth strategy, oversee internal sales activity and manage relationships with introducers and external partners.

Ampla works with introducers, professional partners and direct customers, offering funding for legal proceedings as well as lending designed to be repaid from future inheritance.

Peter Beaumont, chief executive officer at Ampla Finance, said: “Building the right team is fundamental to what we are trying to achieve at Ampla. We want to be a lender that combines strong underwriting, clear processes and a culture built on integrity and transparency.

“Grace’s promotion reflects the contribution she has already made within the business, while Brogan and Becky bring additional expertise across compliance and introducer engagement. Together they raise our ability to make good decisions, support our partners and continue improving the way we operate on a daily basis.”

Fuller said: “Having been part of Ampla’s journey for several years, it is exciting to step into this role as the business continues to grow. I am looking forward to working with the team to ensure we provide consistent underwriting decisions and a reliable process from application through to completion.”

Buckley stated: “Building strong regulatory foundations is essential for any lending business. Ampla has a clear focus on doing things properly from the outset, and I look forward to helping the business grow while maintaining high standards across compliance and financial crime oversight.”

Dixon added: “I am excited to be joining Ampla in this new chapter of its growth. The team has a clear vision for how it wants to work and I can’t wait to liaise with introducers and colleagues across the business to help structure deals clearly and ensure applications move efficiently through the process.”
