He began his career in asset finance before moving into corporate and commercial banking with HBOS and Lloyds and then into invoice finance.

Calvert joined from Bibby Financial Services where he was head of sales for the North West, helping to make the Liverpool office the most profitable and successful within the Bibby group.

Speaking about his new role with Reward Finance, Calvert said: “This is a really exciting time to be joining Reward Finance. It is experiencing dramatic growth due to the fact that no one offers the same product range, flexibility and speed of decision-making in the market.

“In addition the company continues to be keen to lend, especially following the recent investment of an additional £40m from Foresight Group. This presents a great opportunity for me to use my network to build on Reward’s success by raising the awareness and capability of the company across the North West.”
