Ken McKeating, former sales director for SME lending at Paragon Bank, has been appointed as managing director of Premier Asset Finance.
McKeating (pictured) has had an extensive career in asset finance, holding senior roles such as director at Bank of Scotland and joint managing director of Dash Commercial Finance from 2010 to 2017. He then joined Paragon Bank in October 2017, spending the last three years as sales director for the SME lending division.
Premier Asset Finance was co-founded by Kevin Davidson in 2008 after working for over 20 years at the Bank of Scotland and to date has seen more than £1 billion in funding arranged over 15,000 agreements. Davidson has now retired after 40 years in the industry.
In 2016 the firm was acquired Paragon Bank.
McKeating said: “I am delighted to be joining Premier Asset Finance and building on the good work of Kevin and the team. I’m very much looking forward to being part of Premier’s future and working with the team to further develop the huge potential of the business.”
