Capital Bridging Finance has expanded its administrative team with the appointment of a new collections manager.

Zara Ali joined the City-based short-term funder on 3 June.

Previously she was a credit manager with Virgin Media.

Keith Aldridge, managing director of Capital Bridging Finance, said: “With more completions come more demands on resource and we have created this new role to meet those demands. We are delighted Zara has joined us. She will be responsible for managing our growing number of loans from completion to redemption.

“She brings with her a broad experience of the role in several sectors and will be a great addition to the Capital Bridging team.”

Ali added: “It is great to be joining such an ambitious business as Capital Bridging. They have an established culture that puts the client at the heart of their proposition and whilst my role will be challenging I am sure it will be made a great deal easier by the team I am joining.

“The short-term funding market has much to offer and I am looking forward to making my contribution.”
