Pancredit has appointed Sarah Jackson as sales manager for London and the South.

Jackson has previously held positions at Mergermarket, Incisive Media and the Bank of Scotland and brings more than eight years’ sales and business development experience in the finance industry to her new role.

She will help expand Pancredit’s core markets within motor finance, unsecured lending and retail finance. She will also identify and generate new business opportunities and promote Pancredit as an Equiniti solution, focusing on the loan servicing BPO and securitisation standby services sectors.

“It’s an exciting time to be joining Pancredit, especially following the Equiniti Group acquisition, and at a time when the industry is reporting significant growth across car and consumer finance.” Jackson said.

“Also, with the FCA enforcing stricter requirements surrounding consumer credit, demand for responsible lending solutions is increasing, presenting an opportunity for Pancredit to help lenders find the optimum balance between managing risk and maximising market opportunities for growth.”

Graham Donald, managing director at Pancredit, added: “Last year, as confidence levels in the consumer credit market rose, we saw significant growth which coincided with our acquisition by the Equiniti Group. We’re determined to continue that success throughout 2015, and believe that our solution meets the needs of the increasing number of lenders who require intelligent loan decisioning solutions. To ensure we can meet this demand, we will continue to recruit experienced and knowledgeable team members and greatly look forward to Sarah’s involvement over this next growth period.”
