The firm is continuing to grow in Northern Ireland with the appointment two additional area sales managers - Grainne Williamson (ex-Danske Bank) and Ross Ferguson (ex-Evolution Funding), who both bring a wealth of relevant and valuable knowledge to the existing team.
As the latest lender to commit to Northern Ireland by establishing a local presence, Simply says it has completed more than 300 transactions in the last nine months.
Its focus for the next year centres around continuing to deliver an exceptional service to SMEs in the region, increasing its product offering to small firms and serving the whole of the market.
The lender's regional head of sales Gary Coburn said: “Small and medium-sized enterprises are the bedrock of our economy. Businesses need a choice when it comes to funding and reliable lenders need to be able to provide facilities in line with their aspirations with a consistent level of service from application through to completion.
“We’ve built a successful business in Northern Ireland in a short period of time. Simply already has a strong reputation and from the beginning we’ve had ambitious plans for growth. We welcome Grainne and Ross on board and look forward to helping more businesses in the region grow and prosper.”
Mike Randall, the company's chief executive, added: “Simply has doubled in size since this time last year and our team in Northern Ireland has played a crucial part in that momentum, providing exceptional support to businesses in the region. We are poised for an exciting 2020 and we’re pleased that Ross and Grainne will be part of that journey.”
