Reward Funding has made three key managerial appointments across client relationships and business development following a period of business growth in the North West.
The original alternative finance provider welcomes Gemma Carson and Gareth Boardman as relationship managers, along with Sarah Gaskin as business development manager, to its Manchester city centre office.
Carson (pictured, left) has worked in client relationship and underwriting roles at Assetz Capital and SDKA. Her primary focus will be on supporting new clients in meeting their ongoing funding requirements.
Boardman (pictured, far right) joins from Lloyds Banking Group, bringing 20 years of experience in commercial and private banking, including the past nine years as a commercial banking relationship manager. He will also support clients across the North West and contribute to Reward’s expanding client portfolio.
“We’ve experienced rapid growth in the region over the last 12 months and this is reflected in both these latest hires and the level of talent and expertise we can attract to the business”
Gaskin (pictured, second from right) will help to bolster Reward’s sales presence in the region. She will play a key role in strengthening the lender’s network of commercial finance brokers and other intermediaries across the North West, whilst assisting businesses in funding their expansion plans, pursuing innovation and seizing new market opportunities.
Steve Noble, regional managing director for Reward Funding in the West of the UK, said: “We’ve experienced rapid growth in the region over the last 12 months and this is reflected in both these latest hires and the level of talent and expertise we can attract to the business.
“We’re really keen to keep this momentum going, with our expansion to date largely being fuelled by our pace and flexibility of lending and our capacity to fill the increasing funding void left by banks and other traditional lenders.
“Gemma, Gareth and Sarah each bring great commercial finance experience and vertical sector knowledge to the team. This benefits new or existing clients that are repeatedly turning to alternative funding to unlock further business growth opportunities. “
