Appointments Investec Asset Finance appoints new broker manager Published: 26th July 2018 Share Investec Asset Finance (IAF) has appointed David Lavin as its broker manager and he will be tasked with boosting sales in Northern England. Lavin’s appointment is in part a response to feedback from IAF’s annual survey, which highlighted the appetite for an increased presence in Northern England, as well as the recent surge in broker sign-ups in the area. Lavin will be responsible for supporting and building broker relationships across the region. Stuart Hughes, IAF head of broker sales, said: “In order to ensure that we consistently provide our brokers with excellent service – responding not only to their specific needs but also pressures – it is vital that we employ people with in-depth experience of the market.” Lavin was most recently a broker manager with leasing specialist 1pm plc where he managed a team of 80 brokers covering Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Prior to this, he was a direct sales manager at Academy Leasing where he helped set up the firm’s asset and vehicle leasing telesales division. Hughes said: “David has worked in the asset finance business for over four years and, in that time, has accrued a wealth of experience dealing with large broker portfolios and the set-up of new operational divisions within a company. “I am confident that he will be a great addition to our team in the North. More importantly, his appointment demonstrates our commitment to both the broker community and those clients looking to access specialist finance solutions.” ● Osian Rees, Investec Bank’s head of Block Discounting & Receivables Funding will be joining in a panel discussion on Optimising the broker channel at International Asset Finance Network’s ninth conference in London on 13 September.
