Time Finance, the Bath-headquartered alternative lender, has strengthened its hard and soft asset finance offering across the South West with the appointment of Ollie Cole as broker manager.
Ollie, pictured, brings more than a decade of experience in the finance industry, most recently as business development associate at West Midlands-based Paragon Banking Group.
Having spent his early career at major banking groups such as Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest, his extensive expertise will enable Time Finance to provide more brokers and businesses with support and flexible equipment finance solutions.
The firm supports 10,000 firms with a diverse range of financial packages including asset, loan and invoice and vehicle finance.
Its asset finance offering can help brokers and their business-owner clients access the equipment they need to take their business to the next level.
Time Finance head of broker sales Laura Mollett said: “We’re pleased to be welcoming Ollie to our broker manager team.
“I know his dedication for building intermediary relationships will make him a valuable asset to our team.
“This forms part of our wider strategy to reach more SMEs with the asset facilities they need to uplift and invest in their operations, bring in new technology and the vital equipment necessary to improve efficiency, and do this through our broker network.”
Ollie added: “It’s an exciting time to join Time Finance as they already have a strong and growing reputation in the industry and are expanding their presence in the market with a number of strong appointments in the last 18 months.
“In what continues to be a challenging period for many SMEs while the economy remains turbulent, more companies are looking at asset finance to help them achieve their goals.
“I will be working closely with my brokers to build strong, effective relationships to help their clients grow and thrive.”
