Vantage Finance expands team with new Head of Sales
10 December 2014
Vantage Finance has hired Tim Bennett as Head of Sales, the latest move in what has been an exciting year of growth for the packager. The role will allow Vantage to increase its new business levels and provide introducers with a lead contact. This multi-faceted role means Tim’s time will be split between being based in Vantage’s Buckinghamshire office and on the road, in order to build on Vantage’s strong presence in the market and develop new strategic relationships.
Tim joins Vantage from Brightstar Financial where he worked as a New Business Consultant. Specialising in bridging, commercial mortgages and development finance, he was there from June 2013 to November 2014. In addition, Tim’s past experience includes working as a Business Development Manager at both Money Partners, which offered a range of mortgage products and secured loans, and GE Money. One of the UK’s largest specialist lenders, GE Money deals predominantly with residential mortgages and secured loans, but also offered semi-commercial mortgages.
Tim commented on his new role:
“Vantage is a well-established business with big growth ambitions. The business ranks its relationships with lenders and introducers as one of its highest priorities and I can’t wait to build further on this solid foundation. The opportunities inherent in this role are numerous and the chances to attract new business and expand the company’s reach mean the sky’s the limit for what Vantage can achieve next.”
Lucy Hodge, Director of Vantage, said:
“I’m delighted to welcome Tim to the Vantage team. Tim understands the B2B market well and is an ideal fit for the business given his wealth of experience. Having celebrated Vantage’s tenth anniversary this autumn, we’re keen to push on with our growth plans and ensure we continue to offer a high quality service to our intermediary and lender partners. Tim joining the company will help us achieve this.”
Vantage has gone from strength to strength this year. Its continued growth has seen the company report a 90 percent increase in business year-on-year since September 2013, move offices to support its expansion and be shortlisted for the Business Moneyfacts award for commercial finance specialist distributor.
