Short-term lender Roma Finance has announced the creation of its new leadership team.

Following further business growth and the recent appointment of Michael Allison to commercial director, the new team has been formed to frame and execute the business strategy, focusing on the partner and borrower journey.

Senior leaders, Lorraine Hart, head of credit & risk and Deborah Chaplain, head of collections are now joined by Adam Bates, business architect, Charlotte Rutter, head of marketing & comms as well as newly promoted Lisa Toner, sales operations manager and Tina Parry, customer services manager.

Parry said: “I am delighted to have been given this next opportunity within the business. I have been with Roma since the early days and have worn many hats.

“I, along with my colleagues in the leadership team have received such support from the board and as a whole team have achieved huge strides, putting Roma where it is today.”

Allison added: “Roma really invests in its people and we have the best team we have ever had right now. As we grow we need to empower our team and this is perfect time to create this organisational structure with inspirational and innovative leaders.

“I would like to personally congratulate every member of the leadership team on their collective achievements. It is a very exciting time to be part of this business.”
