In a sign of renewed energy in the
British leasing job market, David Watkins has been hired by SG
Equipment Finance Ltd to fill a freshly created role at the UK
lessor.
A former senior credit analyst at
Hitachi Capital, Watkins has been appointed risk manager at the
Richmond-based company.
Watkins now reports to Gary Foster, the
UK lessor’s senior risk manager, who in turn reports to Steve
Symons, the lessor’s operations director.
The move takes place following a spate
of changes at Hitachi Capital, including the stepping down of
Robert Munn, the divisional managing director of Hitachi Capital
Business Finance. Several other departures at Hitachi Capital are
expected to be announced soon.
