Time Finance has appointed Gil Dudson as a business development manager in its vendor finance team within the asset finance division.
Gil will be focussing on expanding Time Finance’s reach across the North West and Wales, working directly with suppliers and SMEs to source funding for new equipment.
Gil’s appointment forms part of Time Finance’s ongoing strategy to grow its lending book to £300 million, which has seen the lender strengthen its presence across key UK regions with a succession of appointments.
Before joining the Asset Finance industry, Gil was a Welsh International Rugby player and has also played for several Rugby League teams. An injury led Gil to a career change, and he made the leap and established himself as a broker in 2018.
Commenting on his appointment, Gil said: “Joining the team at Time Finance is exciting, especially at such an important stage in its growth journey. The business has a fantastic culture and a clear strategy for growth, and I’m looking forward to contributing to its success while using my experience and knowledge as a broker to help SMEs across the region access the funding they need to succeed.”
Matthew Graham, head of sales at Time Vendor Finance, added: “Gil is a great addition to our growing team; his experience and drive will be key as we continue to strengthen our expertise and capacity. Expanding our team reinforces our commitment to helping businesses secure the vital asset finance they need at a time when many are working hard to balance growth ambitions with cashflow pressures. We’re delighted to have Gil on board as we build on our momentum and further enhance the support we provide to SMEs across the UK.”
