Investec Asset Finance plc (“IAF”) today announced the appointment of David Lavin to its broker introduced sales team. David’s appointment is in part a response to feedback from our 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. As such, David will be responsible for supporting and building broker relationships across the region.

Stuart Hughes, Head of Broker Sales at IAF, 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.”

David joins as broker manager bringing a wealth of experience to the role. He 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 was instrumental in setting up the firm’s asset and vehicle leasing telesales division. 

Hughes added: “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.”
