Ian Smith, formerly of HSBC and CNH Capital will cover the North, Brian Warbrick, who joined from BNP Paribas Leasing Solution, will cover the Midlands, and Russel Nicholls, who joined from CNH Capital, will look after the South West.
As a launch offer, Aldermore said is it offering a free ‘FCA health check’ to all its dealer customers.

We have assembled a strong team of specialists who understand these challenges and are available to help dealers to navigate them. Alan is a great addition to the team and brings a wealth of industry experience.
