Lombard has appointed Hiten Sonpal as head of specialist sectors.

In this new role Sonpal reports to Paul Roberts, director of external relationship management and includes renewable energy, manufacturing, commercial transportation, agriculture and introducers.

Commenting on the new appointment, Paul Roberts said: “Hiten has made a significant contribution to raising awareness of green and renewable energy funding not just with Lombard customers but across the wider market. We believe that the enthusiasm and expertise that he brings to his new role will have a similar impact in differentiating Lombard’s offering in the other specialist areas under his guardianship.

“Lombard is committed to educating and supporting businesses around the options available to them in supporting their aspirations and this appointment is testament to that commitment”
