At the time, Chris Meldrum, national business development director at Aldermore, said: “Glenn really knows the ins and outs of the Invoice Finance sector and his appointment will further expand our strong offering to clients.”

Souter said: “Having worked within the invoice finance industry at both high street bank and an independent funder level, I saw Aldermore as a perfect match for my skill set.”
