Time Finance has welcomed Karen Blanchard to its invoice finance team as a relationship executive.
Blanchard (pictured) has over 40 years of experience in the financial services industry. During her time as an accounts assistant for Tower Cold Chain and Purple Turtle, she developed her skill set and expertise in account reconciliation, relationship building and credit management.
In her new position, Blanchard will be responsible for nurturing relationships with a broad portfolio of clients, overseeing their invoice finance facilities and identifying opportunities to support their growth plans with enhanced facilities.
Blanchard said: “It’s a great privilege to be joining Time Finance; the team has an excellent reputation in the industry and are widely respected for their relationships with both broker and client. I look forward to taking on this new challenge, and being part of a dynamic and customer-focused business is all the better.”
Blanchard is the latest in a series of recent appointments at Time Finance. The alternative lender recently welcomed Luke Froude as relationship manager, and Wayne Spratt as business development manager, to further invest in its invoice finance offering, team and client services.
Charlotte Holley, operations manager at Time Finance, added: “We’re pleased to welcome Karen to Time Finance. With so much experience in the financial services industry, she’ll bring invaluable knowledge to the business. Karen’s ambition for a fresh challenge is admirable and we’re excited to see her take on this new role and strengthen our relationship management team.”
