Four prominent credit and sales staff are
leaving positions at Key Equipment Finance (KEF) to take
opportunities elsewhere, Leasing Life
can reveal.
Senior credit analyst Phil Bennett and Ian
Millington, credit manager for the UK and Ireland, are known to
have resigned from the business, with Bennett moving to a role
within SG Equipment Finance and Millington moving to a national
finance manager role at auctions and valuation company Edward
Symmons.

Both Bennett and Millington reported to KEF’s
credit and risk director Andrew Slatford.
In addition, leasing specialist Louise
Buckland is known to have left the business to join software giant
Oracle, while Gary Thompson, a senior member of KEF’s sales
function, has moved to Siemens Financial Services.
All formerly worked at Key’s UK headquarters
in Ascot.
While it has been confirmed that the moves do
not form part of any wider programme of cutbacks at KEF, they come
in the wake of a period of relatively high staff turnover for the
lessor.

By GlobalDataIn 2008, KEF consolidated its regional
management structure, losing national-level regional directors
Bruce Nelson (UK and the Nordics), Johan Dobbelier (Benelux and
Germany), Thierry Rouet (France, Italy, Spain) and Nic Evans
(IT).
However, despite the timing of the new
departures, it seems they are all a result of personal decisions,
and it is understood that there is no wider programme of
downscaling at Key.
In addition, it is known that a search for
replacements is already well underway, and that levels of service
to customers by KEF will not be diminished in the interim.
