DF Capital appoints Richard Green as non-executive director

Distribution Finance Capital Holdings plc, the specialist bank providing flexible financing solutions to dealers, manufacturers and their customers, today announces the appointment of Richard Green as a non-executive director, with effect from 17 September 2025.

Richard joins the Board with over 35 year’ financial service leadership experience, across the consumer, commercial and insurance sectors both in the UK and at a European level. Richard spent a large part of his career in GE Capital’s asset finance, fleet, leasing and consumer lending businesses, as well as holding the position of chief executive officer at GE Commercial Distribution Finance in Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Richard’s appointment follows the Group’s previous announcement of Thomas Grathwohl’s intention to step down from the Board at the Annual General Meeting in May 2026, following nine years’ service as a non-executive director of the Company.

On appointment, Richard will become a member of the Board Audit Committee, Board Risk Committee and the Remuneration & Nomination Committee.

Richard Green said: “I’m delighted to be joining the DF Capital team at such an exciting stage in its journey, as the Company focuses on the next phase of growth. I look forward to putting my product and leadership expertise to work, supporting Carl and the team’s ambitions to scale the bank as a multi-product lender.”

Mark Stephens, chair, said: “It’s great to welcome someone of Richard’s experience to our Board. He has built a long and distinguished career in financial products and services that align exactly with DF Capital’s existing and new lending ambitions. I know his knowledge, expertise and executive leadership experience will be a valuable asset to both the Board and wider DF Capital team.”
