Paula Jones has become portfolio manager. She comes from a 20 year career as relationship manager at RBS’s corporate banking division.

Briggs said: “I have known the directors at Reward Finance for many years and I have always admired their ‘can do’ attitude and flexibility when it comes to helping SMEs grow their companies.

“The advantage they have over other lenders is they don’t make SMEs ‘jump through hoops’ before giving them an answer. Instead they quickly get a grasp of the situation and provide the company with a quick decision.

“It really is a refreshing approach and I am looking forward to introducing Reward to my network within the financial sector.”
