Bibby Financial Services appoints head of operations for construction finance
Bibby Financial Services (BFS), has announced the appointment of Alberto Argentieri as
its head of operations for construction finance for Central and South England.
Alberto is an invoice finance specialist with 16
years’ experience in financial services operations. He
joins BFS after spending the past three and a half years as regional operations manager at
Skipton Business Finance Ltd, heading up their midlands office. Prior to
this, Alberto spent 12 years at HSBC, joining as a Graduate
Trainee and moving up through the business to become corporate client director.
Alberto is based in BFS’s headquarters
in Banbury, Oxfordshire, where he will lead a team of four relationship managers. Alberto will be focused on further
developing BFS’s established construction finance offering.
Speaking of his appointment, Alberto said:
“I’m delighted to join BFS, particularly at this
critical time for the construction sector. The sector has been hit by declining
orders, skills shortages and some instability following the collapse of
Carillion in 2018, so it’s now more important than ever that we provide
subcontracting businesses with the support they need. As a funder providing
specialist funding for the sector for 15 years, we’re best placed to support
these businesses to grow in 2019 and beyond.”
Deborah Johnson, commercial director –
North, added:
“As a relationship-based funder, we’re committed to
delivering outstanding services to our clients. We’re delighted to welcome
Alberto to BFS who brings a wealth of experience to our construction
finance team, as we enter our next stage of growth.
