Asset-backed short-term lender, Suros Capital, has announced the appointment of Simone Ferreira and Katie Thomas as account managers.

The roles involve talking to advisers about the benefits of luxury asset borrowing, guidance with onboarding for new introducers and providing direct one to one assistance to clients wishing to borrow against their luxury assets.

They will report directly to director, Ray Palmer.

Ferreira has over 10 years’ experience as an account manager dealing with clients and introducers of luxury asset loans. In her nine years at Borro, she worked in both the London and New York offices, personally handling deals of up to £1 million. After spending two years in the car finance industry, she has recently joined Suros Capital and is excited and keen to get back into the luxury asset lending space.

Thomas spent the last three years working within the luxury goods industry developing close relationships with a high net worth (HNW) clientele at luxury bespoke retailer, Emma Willis.

Suros Capital recently launched its proposition to the intermediary market.

Palmer said: “Simone is highly experienced in this sector and Katie understands the demographic particularly well from her face to face dealings with HNW individuals in a retail role. Advisers can expect a great service when they contact Suros Capital with Simone and Katie on hand to guide them and their customers with information and advice.

“When clients decide to go ahead, they are responsible for cases from enquiry to completion and provide the vital communication point between client, adviser and Suros. I am delighted to have them on board and know that our introducers are going to enjoy working with them.”
