Close Brothers Asset Finance’s Transport team today announced it has appointed Ian Wright to the role of Area Sales Manager to drive the team’s growth plans in South Wales.

Ian said:

“I began my finance career with Lombard NatWest Commercial Services in 1990 before switching to Asset Finance in 1993, with computer hardware financer Comdisco Inc. and have become expert in tailoring Hire Purchase, Finance Lease and Operating Lease solutions for all types of business, covering all types of assets.

“I am driven to provide an excellent service to my clients and to ensure that the solutions I tailor for them match their needs. I am always looking to work with new customers with whom to build long-lasting beneficial relationships.”

Andrew Buswell, Sales Director, for Close Brothers Asset Finance’s Transport division, said:

“Wales is a real growth area for us, and I’m delighted to have someone of Ian’s experience and calibre on the team. Not only is he Wales born and bred, he has significant asset finance experience and can really speak our customers’ language.
