Leith joins the team and takes on responsibility for building and maintaining strong introducer relations whilst expanding their invoice finance offering in the East Midlands and surrounding areas.
Time Finance’s recent survey revealed that 40 per cent of SMEs are looking to bring fresh talent into their business and their own invoice finance division is no different. Leith’s appointment follows several other announcements over the past two months, including Ed Rimmer’s appointment as permanent CEO, Simon Holian and Rob Walters as business development managers, and Adam Shakespear who joined as a business development executive.
Phil Chesham, head of invoice finance at Time Finance, said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome Samantha to our growing team. It comes at an opportune time where demand for finance is high – with a national sales presence we can react to opportunities swiftly and ensure businesses get the funding solutions they need to grow and thrive. We’re positive Samantha will be a great addition.”
Invoice Finance can relieve pressure on cashflow and give businesses the freedom to grow. By releasing up to 90 per cent of the value of unpaid invoices, business owners can access additional working capital and use the funds to support day-to-day cashflow requirements or support innovation and growth.
Time Finance offer confidential and disclosed facilities ranging from £10,000 to £2.5m, with the added flexibility that their facilities can grow alongside a business.
