Close Brothers Asset Finance boosts construction sales team

Close Brothers Asset Finance has announced it has appointed three new sales members to its Construction team as it continues to expand, adapt and diversify its offering as part of its commitment to meeting customers’ changing requirements.

Andrew Boase, Area Sales Manager, has over five years’ experience in the construction and recycling sector, having previously worked for well-known funders of SMEs in the UK. He will be covering the M25/M4 corridor, Oxfordshire and Berkshire.

Steve Tomsett has spent over 30 years in the construction plant machinery sector, including as a construction plant engineer and workshop manager before selling construction plant machinery and associated attachments. Steve will be responsible for South Wales.

Oliver (Ollie) Weston (pictured) joins the team as a Trainee Area Sales Manager. Ollie – who is new to asset finance – has previously worked in hospitality and is another example of our approach to developing talent, regardless of background or experience.

Jamie Sutherland, construction team sales director, said: “The team is growing strongly after another great year for Construction and the wider Industrial Division.

“I’m delighted to be getting a group of this calibre on board, which demonstrates just how seriously we are taking this sector by helping our SME customers grow and thrive, in spite of the many headwinds they are facing.”
