Henry Howard Finance appointed two joint heads of sales support this month.

Nicola Evans, who joined the Newport-based firm as a business analyst in May last year, has become the head of sales support. Evans will share the role with her former colleague, Jane Brown. Brown’s previous roles include as a vendor implementation leader at GE Capital.

Evans, who has 12 years of experience in the finance sector, including as a vendor flow team leader at GE Capital and an eTools business analyst, said her ultimate aim is to “continue to make things flow smoothly for customers”.
