Bibby Financial Services (BFS) plans to open two new business centres in Greater London and grow its existing operations in Slough and Leicester.
The independent invoice finance provider says its new offices in Redhill and Brentwood are expected to open for business in the summer and proposes to make changes to its operations in the South, East Midlands and South West to improve service levels.
In addition, BFS will relocate its Central London office in Aldersgate to The Baltic Exchange, St Mary Axe.
David Postings, chief executive of Bibby Financial Services, said: “Our business model is based on local decision making and flexibility, and our customers value the personal service we provide.
“The opening of our West Midlands Business Centre was a huge success and the plans we have announced today will help us to support a larger number of SMEs across the country.
“Importantly these changes enable us to be nearer to our existing customers so that we can continue to provide the excellent level of service they expect from us.”
Proposed changes will also see back-office operations move from Hastings and Bristol to existing offices in Slough and Leicester. Other roles will move to the new premises in Greater London. The proposals would bring the number of local BFS offices in the UK up to 19.
Postings added: “We have high levels of customer satisfaction and want to be the independent SME funder of choice. This means making sure we put our customers at the heart of everything we do, including informing the decisions we make about our local office locations.”
