Business Development Director

How long with the company?

22 months

Why you are with OSBF, what do you love?

I like the compact and approachable nature of the business and its solutions for the SME sector. I immediately enjoyed the market space occupied by the company and found that in my BDM area there was a good deal of interest allowing me to land a number of new clients.

Relevant industry experience and career background?

I co-founded and ran my own lender between 2009 and December 2022, we specialised in short term funding of annual renewable fees and membership funding in the Professions, Leisure and Insurance sectors. Prior to this I was a team manager with the largest provider of insurance premium finance in the UK.

Proudest achievement with OSBF?

Landing the first deal, this proved the concept worked to me and gave a confidence boost at the same time.

Who you’d like to work with (sectors, ideal clients)?

I prefer working with introducers, Accountants, IP’s and Brokers, who are engaged with and interested in the provision of the right funding solutions for their clients and want to be part of the most professional presentation acting in the clients best interests. I am always looking for new like minded people to work with.
