Having worked with businesses of all shapes and sizes across a number of different industries for the past 5 years at Positive, I am now looking forward to helping develop the team to support SMEs looking to grow.
Entering this new role comes at an exciting time, whereby new appointments and structural changes within the company has meant that our team has the opportunity to offer a bespoke financial solution across the UK and support business owners looking to access funding lines between £10k and £1m to maintain a healthy cashflow”.
