Aldermore has announced the appointment of Nicola Bonini as business development manager for invoice finance and Nick Holmes as complex and asset based lending (ABL) product manager within its business finance division.
Nicola Bonini, bringing over two decades of experience from roles at Bank Leumi UK plc, ABN Amro Commercial Finance, and BNP Paribas Fortis, most recently served as group head of origination at Supply@ME Capital PLC.
In her new role, she will collaborate with accountants, advisors, brokers, private equity, and high-net-worth investors to craft bespoke financial facilities.
Nick Holmes joins Aldermore with over 35 years in business finance, previously heading the Corporate Portfolio for ABL at Close Brothers.
His role will focus on working closely with senior relationship managers, business development managers, and credit teams to ensure the provision of flexible and straightforward financial solutions.
Chris Meldrum, national business development director at Aldermore, expressed enthusiasm about the new additions: “I’m pleased to welcome both Nicola and Nick to the team at Aldermore. We know that access to finance is a key barrier for growth among SMEs in the UK.
“At Aldermore, we’re committed to improving our offering to help businesses unlock the cash they need to realise their growth plans.”
Both Bonini and Holmes shared their excitement about their roles and the opportunities to drive growth and innovation within Aldermore’s ABL offerings.
Bonini said: “It’s very exciting to be joining Aldermore along with Nick. I’m looking forward to bringing my expertise and experience to the team as we seek to provide more businesses with the ABL funding that fits their needs.”
Holmes added: “I’m delighted to be joining Aldermore. It is a business with strong foundations and I’m excited to be part of the growing ABL team, as we look to provide businesses with more financing options to support their growth ambitions and further strengthen Aldermore’s place in the market.”
