Ultimate Finance has appointed Jamie Hunt as a regional director within its Leeds office.
He joins the company having spent more than 30 years working in the banking and commercial finance sector. Having spent 18 years with Yorkshire Bank, he moved over to asset based lending with Aldermore before running his own brokerage.
During his career he has been involved in deals which have been used for MBOs, MBIs, start-ups, restructures and to provide cash flow solutions for established businesses.
Hunt (pictured) said: “I knew a lot of the team in Yorkshire and several of the others nationally, having worked with them during my time as a broker. I have always been impressed with their approach and willingness to get things done.
“The company has recently progressed to another level having received financial backing from its parent company Tavistock. With significant funds now available to lend I believe Ultimate Finance will quickly become a major player in the asset based lending market.”
Noel Haverly, Ultimate Finance’s head of sales for Yorkshire, the North East and Scotland, added: “Having operated in Yorkshire as both a lender and a broker, he is extremely well known and highly respected in the region. He also understands that brokers and clients alike need quick decisions and flexibility to find solutions for funding requirements both of which we can provide at Ultimate Finance.”
