SME funding provider Asset Advantage has added two new starters to its Basingstoke team to support ongoing growth.
Hannah Berry (pictured, left) joins the documents and payouts team as a payout administrator, while Grace Walker (pictured, right) becomes collections and recoveries administrator in the collections and recoveries team.
Berry will prepare finance documentation and manage agreements through to payout.
She will work with underwriting and sales to make sure transactions are processed efficiently and meet governance requirements.
Walker will handle collections administration, including monitoring incoming payments, supporting overdue account management and assisting with customer communications about outstanding balances.
She will also help with operational reporting and due diligence, such as credit searches and data analysis.
Gary Thompson, sales director at Asset Advantage, said: “Hannah and Grace are two fantastic additions to our team and help strengthen two critical parts of our operation as we continue to execute our growth strategy and strengthen our proposition.
“The first quarter of this year has proven to be really busy with high demand among SMEs for flexible funding.
“Even with strong headwinds in the economy, our data suggests that this trend is only set to continue.”
Thompson added: “It therefore makes real sense to bolster our team and bring new efficiencies to meet this demand and best support both SMEs and our broker partners.”
