Nick Smith said: “With Gemma Wright heading up the Leeds office and Steve responsible for Manchester, both of whom are supported by some of the most experienced people in the finance sector, we really do have a formidable team to take the business forward.”
Steve Noble, said: “The chance to join forces with Nick, Gemma, risk director Tim Stafford and the North West team, many of whom I have had direct experience of working with in the past, was irresistible.”
