ThinCats further strengthens credit team in Manchester and the North West
Following ThinCats’ recent announcement of a record year for lending in 2020 with almost £300m provided to mid-sized businesses across the UK, the company has added to its Northern credit team with the addition of Ben Drummond as credit partner.
ThinCats operates a regional credit model where origination and credit terms work together to service funding proposals from corporate finance advisers, brokers and accountants.
Having initially qualified as a chartered accountant at PwC, Ben brings experience of working in corporate finance advisory functions specializing in MBOs and PFI contracts, as well as commercial banking across RBS and Lloyds, and has a wide variety of experience in both relationship management and credit.
Ben will be working within the existing credit team covering Manchester and the NW, Yorkshire and the NE and Scotland.
Dave Parr, director, regional business development, ThinCats: “It is great to have someone with Ben’s experience to enhance the team, and he will be a huge benefit in providing our clients with a timely, hands-on credit experience on an even more local basis.”
Rob Thompson, regional head of credit – North, ThinCats, “We are delighted to have Ben join the team. He brings an impressive amount of knowledge and experience and will enable us to expand our capacity to assess mid-sized businesses across Manchester and the Northern region very early in the funding process.”
