Ampla Finance, the specialist lender focused on legal finance and inheritance-related lending, has expanded its team with two new hires and an internal promotion across underwriting, compliance, and introducer-facing operations, as it continues to strengthen its proposition for introducers and their clients.
Ampla works with introducers, professional partners and direct customers to provide funding for legal proceedings and lending designed to be repaid from future inheritance, combining technology-led processes with manual underwriting and risk oversight.
The appointments include Grace Fuller as head of underwriting, Brogan Buckley as head of compliance and money laundering reporting officer (MLRO), and Becky Dixon as growth manager.
Together they bring more than 35 years of combined experience and aim to strengthen Ampla’s ability to work closely with introducers by ensuring consistent underwriting decisions, strong regulatory oversight and clear communication throughout the lending journey.
Grace Fuller has been promoted to head of underwriting after nearly five years with Ampla Finance, where she has held roles including operations manager, risk operations manager and most recently underwriting manager.
In her new role, she will lead the underwriting team and oversee credit decisions across both product lines. She will review complex applications, act as the escalation point for higher risk cases and help ensure credit policy remains aligned with the firm’s risk appetite and regulatory requirements. Grace will also oversee case management.
Brogan Buckley joins Ampla Finance as head of compliance and MLRO, bringing more than 12 years of experience in financial services regulation.
Her career includes roles at the FCA, in regulatory consultancy and in senior in-house compliance positions. At Ampla, she will oversee the firm’s compliance and financial crime frameworks, manage regulatory reporting and act as the main contact with the FCA. She will also lead the firm’s anti money laundering framework, including customer due diligence, sanctions screening and financial crime monitoring, as well as oversight of complaints processes.
Becky Dixon joins Ampla Finance as growth manager, bringing five years of experience in specialist finance.
She has worked closely with brokers across bridging, refurbishment and short-term lending, supporting deal packaging and working alongside underwriting teams to progress cases. In her new role, Becky will support the firm’s growth strategy, oversee internal sales activity and manage relationships with introducers and external partners to help ensure deals are structured clearly and progress smoothly through the lending process.
Peter Beaumont, CEO at Ampla Finance, said: “Building the right team is fundamental to what we are trying to achieve at Ampla. We want to be a lender that combines strong underwriting, clear processes and a culture built on integrity and transparency.
“Grace’s promotion reflects the contribution she has already made within the business, while Brogan and Becky bring additional expertise across compliance and introducer engagement. Together they raise our ability to make good decisions, support our partners and continue improving the way we operate on a daily basis.”
Grace Fuller, head of underwriting, commented: “Having been part of Ampla’s journey for several years, it is exciting to step into this role as the business continues to grow. I am looking forward to working with the team to ensure we provide consistent underwriting decisions and a reliable process from application through to completion.”
Brogan Buckley, head of compliance and MLRO, added: “Building strong regulatory foundations is essential for any lending business. Ampla has a clear focus on doing things properly from the outset, and I look forward to helping the business grow while maintaining high standards across compliance and financial crime oversight.”
Becky Dixon, growth manager at Ampla Finance, commented: “I am excited to be joining Ampla in this new chapter of its growth. The team has a clear vision for how it wants to work and I can’t wait to liaise with introducers and colleagues across the business to help structure deals clearly and ensure applications move efficiently through the process.”
