Carl D’Ammassa, Managing Director for Asset Finance at Aldermore comments:
“The Asset Finance team at Aldermore has grown significantly recently in terms of both size and quality. If we want to cement our position as a leader in the market then continuing to enhance our team of industry-leading experts is absolutely crucial so that we can provide the best possible service for our customers. These appointments speak further to that strategy.
“Funding is still limited for British SMEs at the moment; however at Aldermore we are determined to support small businesses up and down the country as they seek to grow as the economy recovers.”
