The majority of his career was spent at Lloyds Commercial Finance moving on to enjoy spells at Investec, Bibby Financial Services and Advantedge Commercial Finance before joining Pulse Cashflow.
As a specialist in invoice finance, Martyn will provide expert support to SMEs who are focusing on recovering from the last 12 months, the company said.
Speaking of his appointment, Martyn said: “Pulse Cashflow is dedicated to providing funding solutions to SMEs, and I am delighted to join them at an exciting point in their development. The Midlands has a strong business community but cities in the region have been hit hard by the pandemic with economies shrinking by 11.7% in 2020.
“However, the latest GVA figures suggest a growth of 4.8% or higher for 2021. Speaking to Pulse I have been genuinely impressed with their pragmatic and committed approach to supporting businesses and their genuine desire to build open and transparent relationships with their clients.
