Alternative finance provider, Hitachi Capital Invoice Finance, has bolstered its team with the appointment of SME funding specialist Andrew Ward as senior business development manager.
Having spent the past three years at Bibby Financial Services, Andrew will be responsible for opening funding lines to SMEs in order to promote growth and improve working capital management. He will advise clients on the firm’s complete portfolio of products including its Inspired Payroll, Invoice Factoring, Invoice Discounting and award winning Inspired Cashflow product.
Hitachi Capital Invoice Finance currently employs a team of regional business development managers and it is hoped that Andrew’s appointment will allow the firm to respond to an increase in demand for flexible invoice finance solutions.

“It’s great to be in a position to support businesses in achieving stability and growth with our flexible and competitive products.
