Time Finance has announced the launch of a new 12-month Fast Track Graduate Recruitment Programme, beginning in August.
By investing in new talent, Time Finance is seeking to build a pipeline of individuals who are keen to learn and develop their leadership skills, in order to drive innovation and push for continued growth.
The scheme has been devised and led by CEO Ed Rimmer. He says he is deeply passionate about the programme, having started his own career in finance as a young graduate. His vision for the programme is to ensure the business has a robust talent pool to help secure the company’s longer-term growth plans and support the existing colleagues who have already achieved so much in the industry and for Time Finance.
The new graduates will primarily be based in Manchester and Reading, but they will gain experience of all products. The programme will expose the graduate cohort to the different offices and departments within Time Finance to provide a comprehensive understanding of the business, including the operations and credit teams. The rotational approach ensures they will receive a well-rounded experience and the best possible start to their careers in sales and finance.
Rimmer (pictured) said: “This is a programme I’m hugely committed to. Bringing new talent into not only the business but the industry as a whole is vitally important and something I feel very passionate about.”
“We have worked hard to create a scheme which will provide a comprehensive and robust foundation to their careers in finance. I am looking forward to welcoming them to the business and I know they will receive a warm welcome, support and mentoring from the entire Time Finance team.”
Holly Mapstone, HR lead for the graduate programme, added: “This is just one of the many ways the Board and our Senior Management team are committed to attracting and nurturing new talent into the business. We have a culture of investing in our people and enabling them to develop their skills and knowledge.
“We are continuing to explore other routes to encourage new talent, including apprentice schemes, school and college leavers and wider training programmes to create a Training Academy concept and help build a perpetual pipeline of talent for now and the future.”
