Praetura Asset Finance has added three managerial appointments to its team.
John Ingham is Praetura’s new business development manager for the South of England. Bringing over 25 years’ experience in asset and motor finance with him, his role will include developing new and existing relationships with intermediaries across East Anglia and surrounding areas.
Mike Hartley, managing director at Praetura Asset Finance, said: “The business growth we saw in the South last year was excellent, but the potential is far greater. Increasing our focus in this area means we can start to tap into that potential. John is just the first of many planned developments.”
“I’m looking forward to being part of the Praetura success story; ensuring the intermediaries we work with have all the help and support they need, so their business and the business of their clients can benefit from Praetura’s approach to asset finance, said Ingham.”
The new appointments signal the next phase of the company’s planned expansion, which includes the appointment of Jen Bellamy, who joins from KR Group, in the newly created role of marketing manager.
The operations side of the business is being bolstered with Mike McClelland joining the company as recoveries and litigation manager.
Hartley added: “These are very exciting times at Praetura and for the asset finance market as a whole, as more and more businesses are becoming aware of the full range of finance options that are available to them.
“John, Jen and Mike are fantastic additions to the team of experts that we’ve assembled at Praetura. I’m looking forward to us all working together, raising awareness of the difference that asset finance ‘the Praetura way’ can make and driving further expansion in 2017.”
