Bibby Asset Finance makes senior hire

Bibby Asset Finance, a division of Bibby Financial Services (BFS), has appointed Martin Bugden as senior business development manager.

The move follows a series of hires earlier this year as the company accelerates its growth plan, aimed at boosting lending throughout the UK.

Martin brings a wealth of experience from his 15 years in the financial services sector, including a recent role at PCF Bank.

His appointment aligns with Bibby Asset Finance’s objective to augment its broker services by expanding its sales team and recruiting seasoned industry professionals nationwide for better regional service.

Sean Taylor, head of national broker sales at Bibby Asset Finance, said: “Martin’s hire speaks volumes about our ambition and growth trajectory. He brings valuable experience in working with brokers and sales teams, which will be crucial as we advance in our growth mode.”

Bugden added: “Bibby Asset Finance is going from strength to strength, and I am thrilled to be joining this exceptional team on its growth journey.

“I look forward to bringing my knowledge and experience of the asset finance market, and working with the valued broker network to support SMEs in what promises to be an exciting time at BFS.”
