Time Finance has appointed Gil Dudson (pictured) as business development manager (BDM) in its vendor finance team within the asset finance division.
In his new role, Dudson will be focused on expanding Time Finance’s reach across the North West and Wales, working directly with suppliers and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to source funding for new equipment.
His appointment forms part of Time Finance’s ongoing strategy to grow its lending book to £300m.
Before joining the asset finance industry, Dudson was a Welsh International Rugby player and has also played for several Rugby League teams.
These include Catalan Dragons, Warrington Wolves, Widnes Vikings, Wigan Warriors and Salford.
An injury led Gil to a career change, and he made the leap and established himself as a broker in 2018.
Dudson said: “Joining the team at Time Finance is exciting, especially at such an important stage in its growth journey.
“The business has a fantastic culture and a clear strategy for growth, and I’m looking forward to contributing to its success while using my experience and knowledge as a broker to help SMEs across the region access the funding they need to succeed.”
Matthew Graham, head of sales at Time Vendor Finance, added: “Gil is a great addition to our growing team; his experience and drive will be key as we continue to strengthen our expertise and capacity.
“Expanding our team reinforces our commitment to helping businesses secure the vital asset finance they need at a time when many are working hard to balance growth ambitions with cashflow pressures.
“We’re delighted to have Gil on board as we build on our momentum and further enhance the support we provide to SMEs across the UK.”
