Ampla Finance, the specialist lender focused on legal finance and inheritance-related lending, has expanded its team with three new appointments across marketing and introducer-facing roles.
The new hires include Amanda Wesson as marketing manager, alongside Hakeem Osinowo and Ryan Eastoe, who both join as growth specialists.
Amanda Wesson brings a background in digital marketing across financial services, including roles at Shawbrook and Funding Circle.
Hakeem Osinowo specialises in bridging, probate and family law-related finance. He brings experience from across the commercial and specialist finance market, including previous roles as a commercial mortgage specialist at Provide Finance and as a case manager at Merryoaks Finance.
Hakeem will work closely with brokers, advisers and legal professionals to support funding across complex and time-sensitive cases, helping to ensure applications are structured clearly and progress smoothly.
Ryan Eastoe also joins as growth specialist, focusing on supporting introducers and their clients across divorce and inheritance-related funding scenarios.
He brings nearly eight years of experience in client-facing roles, most recently as assistant manager at Haynes Brothers, where he supported team development and day-to-day sales operations.
At Ampla, Ryan will work alongside intermediaries to help manage complex cases, ensuring clients receive the support they need during what can often be challenging periods.
These appointments follow recent additions across underwriting, compliance and growth, including Grace Fuller as head of underwriting, Brogan Buckley as head of compliance and money laundering reporting officer, and Becky Dixon as growth manager.
Peter Beaumont, CEO at Ampla Finance, said: “We are continuing to invest in the areas that matter most to introducers, which is clear communication, consistency and a team that understands the detail behind each case.
“Amanda, Hakeem and Ryan each bring different strengths, but all share a focus on working closely with brokers and professional partners to move cases forward in a considered way.
“These appointments enhance our ability to support introducers across a range of scenarios, particularly where cases involve legal complexity or time-sensitive requirements, and reflect the direction we are taking as a business.”
Amanda Wesson commented: "I’m excited to be joining Ampla at a time when the business is building real momentum. There’s a clear opportunity to strengthen relationships with our introducers and partners, and to continue establishing the brand by ensuring our proposition is clear and easy to understand."
Hakeem Osinowo said: “A lot of the cases we deal with involve situations where timing and clarity are critical. Being able to work closely with introducers and legal professionals to find a solution and keep things moving is a key part of the role.
“I am looking forward to building those relationships and helping ensure finance supports progress rather than slowing it down.”
Ryan Eastoe added: “What stands out about Ampla is the focus on people as well as the outcome. Many of the scenarios we support involve important life events, and it is important that introducers and their clients feel supported throughout the process.
“I am looking forward to working closely with partners to help guide cases through and ensure clients are supported at every stage.”
