Myerscough (pictured) joins a team supporting SMEs across the Midlands with their funding needs and will report into Chris Meldrum, regional sales director, Midlands.

He said: “In a relatively short space of time, Aldermore has built a successful business finance team in the Midlands. The team’s dedication to putting the customer at the centre of what they do really appealed to me.

“Given Aldermore’s strong focus on helping local SMEs achieve their growth ambitions, I was really excited by the opportunity to move to a young and dynamic lender. I’m looking forward to playing my part in building on the Bank’s success as it continues to build on its strong track record.”

Meldrum added: “Jon has over 15 years’ experience of helping Midlands businesses access the finance they need to evolve and grow.

“He has great relationships across the region and a first class understanding of what the local market needs. We’re thrilled to have him on board.”
