Time Finance appoints Sophie Aitken to asset finance team

Time Finance has appointed Sophie Aitken as Broker Manager in its Asset Finance team.

Sophie joins the leading independent finance provider with over 10 years of experience in the financial services industry. Her previous roles include broker at Halo Corporate Finance, internal sales manager at InterBay Asset Finance and various roles at Aldermore Bank.

In her new role at Time Finance, she will be responsible for working closely with her established network of brokers to secure new clients and increasing the independent lender’s volume across the South, as well as building strong relationships with new intermediaries.

Speaking of her appointment, Sophie said: “I am excited to be rejoining the industry as a broker manager, especially given my experience on the other side of the deal as a broker.

“I am looking forward to implementing this industry knowledge to help grow the Time Finance brand – they are clearly on an upward trajectory with the recent opening of their new Birchwood office, so it feels like the perfect time to join the business.”

Sophie’s recruitment is the latest in a string of appointments at Time Finance in recent months. The business recently welcomed Andrew Maude as Regional Sales Manager and Matt Heap as Head of Credit to further invest in its Asset Finance offering, people and customer service.

Laura Mollett, Head of Broker Sales at Time Finance, said: “We are delighted to welcome Sophie to the broker management team here at Time Finance.

“Combined with a couple of other recent appointments, we have built a strong, results-driven team and I am confident Sophie’s appointment will solidify this further, given her previous experience as a broker herself.”
