DF Capital leisure team expansion

DF Capital, a Manchester-based specialist bank, is pleased to announce the expansion of its leisure team with the appointment of two new members to support the Group’s expanding customer base and the strong demand in this sector.

The DF Capital Leisure team is headed up by managing director, Ian Martin, and looks after 45 manufacturers and over 500 dealers and holiday parks. The bank is recognised as a leading provider of finance solutions in the sector.

To support the Group’s expanding customer base and to ensure a consistently high best-in-class service, Richard Kerr has recently been appointed as relationship development manager to help deliver first class service to the Group’s dealers and manufacturer partners. Richard has over eight years’ experience in the asset funding industry, having worked with a diverse clientele, ranging from relatively new, small businesses to established, large corporations. Richard’s role as relationship development manager will see him continue this strong emphasis on helping to providing tailored solutions that align with the specific needs of customers across the leisure sector.

In addition, DF Capital has appointed Rosie Clarke to join the leisure national client management team. Rosie joins the team from DF Capital’s savings team where she completed an apprenticeship programme, in line with the Group’s focus on career progression and talent development.

Ian Martin commented: “We pride ourselves in delivering outstanding personal service for our existing customers and as we continue to grow as a business. Expanding our leisure team is a vital part of journey as we move from strength to strength.

“We continue to invest in and develop our existing local talent, providing a progressive environment and fostering social mobility. This enables us to work towards our core business goals in having an engaged team and putting our customer needs first.”
