Wesleyan Bank expands broker team with two key hires

Two asset finance experts with over a decade of combined industry experience have joined Wesleyan Bank’s broker team to bolster its growth ambitions.

Sue Dixon has been appointed as broker support manager. Sue has gained seven years’ experience in sales support in previous roles at Metro Bank Asset Finance and Capex Finance (part of Maxia Group).

In addition, Henry Crame has moved across from Wesleyan Bank’s Credit function as part of the expansion of its broker account management team. Henry brings with him a raft of market knowledge and expertise following five years as a commercial credit underwriter.

Henry Crame says, “This is an exciting opportunity for me to develop my career at Wesleyan Bank within a culture that really cares about the result and delivering excellent customer outcomes. My technical expertise and market knowledge should enable me to add real value to our broker relationships and assist their customers to grow.”

Over the last 12 months, Wesleyan Bank has invested significantly to enhance its value proposition by working in partnership with brokers to provide dedicated support. This has included maintaining competitive pricing, speeding-up turnaround times and offering greater flexibility. As a result, the specialist commercial lender surpassed its growth aspirations, more than trebling the volume written upon launch during 2020, in the company’s first full year of trading in the broker market.

Yvonne Wiseman, head of indirect sales at Wesleyan Bank, comments, “As we continue our strong growth, we are committed to attracting the best people in the finance industry. Sue and Henry’s appointments allow us to focus on being brilliant to do business with by ensuring all our broker partners receive outstanding service, support and specialist knowledge.”

Yvonne continues, “Sue brings with her a wealth of experience and will strengthen our Internal Support function by helping brokers to secure more deals. We are also pleased to give opportunities to nurture our existing talent. Henry is a fantastic fit for our account management team coming from a credit background where he has gained considerable knowledge of asset finance.”
