SME finance provider, Reward Funding, has appointed Tom Dundas to help establish a new treasury function.

Dundas (pictured), has more than 15 years’ experience in finance and treasury and will be responsible for all aspects of Reward’s treasury management and forecasting.

He will also be instrumental in further developing relationships with Reward’s growing number of institutional funding partners.

Dundas joins the original alternative finance provider during a period of rapid growth and market expansion. With five UK offices and a diversified product portfolio, Reward provides asset-secured funding to help entrepreneurs and businesses grow.

Dundas (pictured, right), head of treasury for Reward Funding, said: “Being given the opportunity to establish a treasury function and help further develop the financial strategy for such an established and dynamic lender as Reward is an exciting challenge for me and a major milestone in my career.

“With the business on a rapid growth trajectory and recently announcing its new brand launch, I couldn’t have joined at a better time.”

David Harrop (pictured, left), Reward Funding’s group finance director, added: “As the business grows, we continue to widen our institutional funder base and access to capital. We feel now is the right time to bring in a treasury expert, and we are delighted to welcome Tom to the team.

“He brings a wealth of experience and will be key to developing the function, enabling us to drive further growth within the alternative funding space.”
