Time Finance has appointed Sharon Bryden as director of commercial loans & ABL with immediate effect. The role is newly created and signals the firms’ intention to roll out a portfolio of funding options to UK businesses as they recover and grow.

As a member of the operating board, Bryden will have overall responsibility for the operation and performance of commercial loans for the business. In addition to this, Bryden will lead the firm’s plans to develop and deliver a robust asset-based lending solution to the market. 

Bryden (pictured) – a well-known industry figure – brings two decades of experience to the role across multiple funding solutions from loans to invoice finance.

Her depth of experience of the wider financial services market will support our ambitious plans to deliver a market-leading proposition”.
