In his career, Lukins has worked in invoice discounting and factoring, and worked with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) “from start up to £6.5m (€7.5m) turnover.”

Lukins said: “Having worked in the banking sector for many years, I was attracted to Ultimate Finance because of the flexibility it can offer SMEs and the speed with which it is able to make decisions.

“A key driver for me is the fact that it has a strong appetite to work with clients and tailor bespoke working capital solutions to help them to grow their businesses.”

Richard Walman, group sales director, hopes Lukin’s networks with introducers and experience with SMEs will benefit Ultimate Finance.
