Latterly Mcinerny was with HSBC where he was responsible for a wide range of asset finance solutions for both the UK and global clients as well as developing a specialised skill in energy related financing.  He has a deep understanding of the structuring of asset finance transactions as well as a very strong organisational and risk orientated skill base.

Ian Sinclair-Ford is a qualified solicitor who brings to IAA a wealth of direct experience having been involved in the asset finance industry for over 20 years.  He has worked previously as in-house counsel for Alliance & Leicester Commercial Finance as well as Capital Bank plc.  Apart from Sinclair-Ford’s extensive experience in the wider asset finance world he brings a specific skill and interest in the area of data protection and data privacy within the UK and also with the wider European and US contexts.

Lindsay Town IAA Advisory’s CEO (pictured above) said: “These appointments demonstrate the continued growth of IAA-Advisory and its goal to build the wide ranging skill base that is essential in the current environment for the asset finance and leasing industry across all sectors.”

He added: “IAA-Advisory also wishes to announce with considerable regret, the retirement of a long standing director, Chris Storrar.  Chris has had a long and successful career having been admitted as a solicitor in 1977 and founding his own firm in 1983. Chris Joined IAA-Advisory in 2010 and has added his considerable experience and advice to the development of the firm and to many client engagements.  We wish him all the best on his retirement.”
