In his new role, Sturges has oversight of all communications activity at Money Partners including media, corporate and public relations and internal organisation communications. He will also work closely with sales & marketing director, Adam Henry, to promote Money Partners across a range of high profile industry events.

Sturges has been active in the consumer finance industry for over 25 years.

I see this as a special opportunity to join an expanding and exciting business capable of taking a fresh approach to specialist lending. As Money Partners approaches its first anniversary I'm looking forward to working with a highly experienced and progressive team to ensure its second year is even more successful than the first. Opportunities like this are not commonplace, and I hope to add real value to this forward-thinking business."
