DF Capital also named as one of the UK’s Best Companies to Work For

DF Capital, the specialist commercial lending and personal savings bank, has made a series of new hires in its commercial team this year as it looks to grow its presence across the UK, supporting dealers and manufacturers with inventory finance across its key sectors.

The new appointments include Jelena Harris who has been appointed as a commercial development manager to support the bank’s growth in the industrial, materials handling and construction industries. Further appointments include Kate Mullen, Carwyn Lloyd, Eve Walker, Sabba Shah and Denva Morton who have taken up commercial development manager roles; and Kevin Boyd, Oliver Sweetman and Ryan Manning, all of whom join as national client managers.

Three of these new starters join the bank’s new graduate trainee scheme which was designed specifically to find talented candidates and provide the business with even greater presence across the UK.

Andy Stafferton, chief commercial officer, DF Capital says: “We have very ambitious growth plans for the business this year.  To continue to provide the best service for our growing number of customers, we need a first-rate commercial team. The hires that we’ve have made this year will ensure we offer a personal and local service to our customers, as well as expertise within the sectors we specialise in. We’ve been very lucky to attract so many bright individuals with such great experience and enthusiasm – they will be integral to the success of the bank as it continues to increase its footprint. A big welcome to our new colleagues. I look forward to championing everyone in their new roles and recruiting further throughout the year.”

These appointments coincide with DF Capital’s ranking as one of the 2022 ‘Best Companies to Work For’ in the UK.  The business has been named in the following prestigious ‘Best Companies’ league tables:

• The UK’s top 75 mid-sized companies to work for
