Aldermore appoints Midlands sales manager

He will be responsible for raising awareness of the bank’s invoice finance proposition in the Midland’s area and will report to Tony Smedley, Aldermore Invoice Finance’s Birmingham-based regional managing director.

Invoice finance and invoice discounting are used by small and medium sized businesses to improve their cashflow and fund their future expansion.

Hayward previously held a variety of roles within the RBS Group.

Smedley said: “I’m delighted to welcome Ben to the team at Aldermore Invoice Finance. Ben has a lot of experience working with small and medium sized businesses and I have no doubt he’ll be able to make a very positive contribution.”

Hayward said: “Small firms in the Midlands area desperately need support from banks that are willing to listen to their needs and provide effective financial solutions.

“Aldermore has a strong reputation as one of the UK’s most innovative invoice finance providers and I’m excited about being part of such a dynamic team.”
