UK peer-to-peer finance platform Assetz Capita has appointed Samantha Williamson to its rapidly expanding Regional Relationship Director team. She will cover the South Manchester region, working closely alongside local businesses and guiding them through the borrowing process.
Williamson joined Assetz Capital from Positive Commercial Finance where she was a Business Development Manager, focusing on helping business facilitate growth and expansion through non traditional methods. Prior to this, Williamson also held management positions at RBS and Santander. Williamson’s role at Assetz Capital is centred on educating local businesses about the value in acquiring finance through the peer-to-peer platform and ensuring the borrowing process is as simple as possible.
Stuart Law, CEO of Assetz Capital, says: “Assetz Capital has its head office in Manchester and as such we know first hand the struggles that local businesses can go through to acquire funding through the more traditional methods. The appetite for P2P lending here is growing and Samantha brings a great wealth of knowledge to her role as Regional Relationship Director. It’s going to be an exciting year for Assetz Capital as we continue to grow and Samantha’s experience is invaluable to the team.”
Williamson says: “I’ve worked for many years supporting SMEs around Manchester and believe Assetz Capital offers a much needed solution for those struggling to acquire finance. My role will be to raise the profile of peer-to-peer lending throughout South Manchester and to ensure that businesses which gain funding through Assetz Capital are guided through the process.”
