New hire at Leonard Curtis as funding continues to grow
Leonard Curtis has further strengthened its growing funding team, welcoming Lauren Maloney as business development manager.
Beginning her career in corporate banking with NatWest and Santander, Lauren brings more than 15 years’ experience in commercial finance and banking. She has developed significant expertise with alternative funders in the market, delivering invoice finance, asset finance, and commercial property solutions for her clients.
Lauren commented: “Leonard Curtis benefits from a specialist focus on SMEs and owner-managed businesses which sets it apart in the market. While many brokers simply match clients with lenders, the offering of Leonard Curtis is much broader, combining finance, restructuring, legal and strategic support in one place, providing clients with a complete solution rather than fragmented advice.”
Based in the firm’s Sheffield office, Lauren will focus on connecting businesses with the most appropriate funding solutions, leveraging the firm’s extensive network of lenders and its well-established reputation in the market. With a strong commitment to adding real value, she will play a key role in supporting clients across the region at every stage of their financial journey, structuring finance that meets both immediate business needs and long-term business growth goals.
Becky Owen, head of funding at Leonard Curtis, said: “We are really pleased to welcome Lauren to the funding team. She brings a strong reputation in the market and an established network; both key to being able to hit the ground running, working with our introducer base and their clients to provide vital access to funding and navigate the ever-changing lending landscape.”
