Ultimate Finance has expanded its Northern team with two new hires to enhance its support for businesses seeking asset-based lending solutions.
Sarah Harrison has been appointed as a regional director in the North West, while Steve Armstrong has been named as an underwriter for the Northern region.
Both Harrison and Armstrong bring considerable expertise in supporting small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to their new roles.
Earlier this year, the lender also promoted Michael Beer (pictured) to sales director for the North.
Beer said: “The North has a vibrant business finance community and as part of my new role I have been spending time gaining feedback and insight from introducers on what they need from Ultimate Finance.
“Our regional service model allows us to deliver exceptional customer service and build strong relationships with our clients and introducers.
“My initial focus has been to strengthen the team by bringing in new hires to bolster an already established and high-performing team to support growth ambitions.”
Beer added: “Sarah and Steve’s appointments have strengthened our presence in this important region as we continue to build upon an impressive H1 performance which saw us achieve our highest ever half year results with new business growth up by 44% on the same period last year.
“We are actively recruiting in the North West, Yorkshire and Scotland to further bolster the team and continue our growth trajectory.”
