The group supports continued growth with senior sales roles

Henry Howard Finance Group has appointed joint heads of sales support as the independent funder’s growth continues apace.

Nicola Evans, who joined the Newport-based firm as a business analyst in May last year, has become the head of sales support. Nicola shares the role with her former GE Capital colleague, Jane Brown, who has worked in asset finance and sales aid leasing for nearly three decades.

Henry Howard Finance prides itself on its flexible working patterns, enabling working parents to share roles within the company. As the business’ success continues, the duo will combine their skills to bolster staff coaching and training, support the sales team and enhance the services offered to existing and new customers.

Ms Evans, who has 12 years of experience in the finance sector, said their ultimate aim is to “continue to make things flow smoothly for customers”.

Ms Brown added: “We have been reviewing how our teams are structured to support clients and ensure our customer service runs as efficiently as possible. We are also in touch with our customers for feedback to ensure we address anything they feel could be improved or simplified.”

Henry Howard Finance specialises in flexible and responsive finance solutions, assisting nearly 30,000 different UK-based businesses across a variety of sectors.

Commenting on the new appointments, Mark Catton, group chief executive of Henry Howard Finance, said: “We are also committed to upholding the high standards that have put us in this enviable, successful position.

“These new posts reflect that commitment. I have no doubt our new team members will have a positive impact on our customers’ experience.”
