Matt will be responsible for building and maintaining strong relationships with introducers in the North West, whilst supporting UK SMEs to access funding lines between £10k and £1m for growth.
The appointment comes at an exciting time for Positive who as part of the 1pm Group of companies continue to expand and grow the business. The firm has announced a series of significant appointments this year to strengthen their leadership team with Phil Chesham as head of business and Andy Hume as head of sales.

In what remains uncertain times for many business owners, responding to clients’ needs as they arise and ensuring they have the certainty of support they require when looking to grow their businesses, is crucial. Joining Positive at this time means I can work alongside the 1pm Group to provide SMEs with access to financing the full spectrum of business assets required for growth.”
As part of 1pm plc, the AIM-listed independent provider of finance facilities to the SME sector, Positive also provide access to a multi-product range of business finance solutions to the UK market from asset finance, commercial loans through to vehicle finance. 1pm plc operates a “hybrid” lending and broking model enabling it to optimise business levels through market and economic cycles. With a strong reputation for providing a flexible and fair approach to funding, 1pm plc is seen as a trusted partner for both introducers and clients alike.
