Bath-headquartered alternative funding provider Time Finance’s senior marketing manager Kate Brown has been promoted to head of marketing.
In her new role, Kate, pictured, will oversee the creation and delivery of the marketing strategy for Time Finance, whose offering includes invoice, asset, property and vehicle finance along with commercial loans.
She will lead the firm’s strategy across brand, PR and digital marketing and will also expand the team to bring in more specialists who share her vision in driving innovation and change within marketing.
Kate joined the firm three years ago and worked on its 2020 rebrand from its original name of 1pm to Time Finance – a move which followed a period of strong growth and a number of acquisitions.
Kate said: “As an ambitious and forward-thinking business, the Time Finance brand is one I’m immensely proud to help shape and grow.
“Whilst the last few years has seen the firm establish itself as a recognisable force in the market, we have very exciting plans to invest in and accelerate our brand further.”
Time Finance supports the growth plans of more than 20,000 UK business owners a year by providing and arranging funding £116m.
Time Finance chief executive officer Ed Rimmer said: “Kate has done a great job since joining Time Finance and has played an instrumental role in driving our marketing strategy and generating brand awareness within that time.
“One of our greatest objectives is positioning ourselves firmly in front of business owners as they continue to recover and look for forward-thinking and supportive funders to accelerate their growth plans.
“As an alternative finance provider, we are the ideal funding partner to help them on that journey. I am confident that with Kate leading our marketing function we will achieve this.”
