The asset-based lender announced last month that it had lent £34m to SMEs in the South of England in 2017, with total lending balances more than doubling nationwide.

In his role at Secure Trust Bank Commercial Finance, he will be focussed on further developing the STB brand across a wide range of intermediaries and will be responsible for identifying opportunities in the South of England.

Matt will be based in the London office working alongside Tony Young and Jeremy Uphill, supporting local SMEs with flexible finance facilities to support growth and manage cashflow.
