Time Finance has appointed Sarah Rishworth as a relationship manager in its invoice finance division, bringing more than 25 years of industry experience to its Manchester-based operations team.
Rishworth (pictured) joins the lender following a career spanning several banks and specialist finance providers, including Barclays Bank, ABN AMRO Commercial Finance, Aldermore Bank, Close Brothers and Praetura Group.
She began her career at Barclays as a client executive before moving into a series of relationship and client management positions.
Her appointment follows several other relationship management hires at Time Finance as the lender expands its operational support for small and medium-sized businesses.
Rishworth says: “Time Finance has a brilliant reputation for building genuine relationships based on flexibility. As a lender, it has always provided vital support for businesses, and I’m really pleased to be joining a team that values these key components for its clients.
“We’ve seen the demand for dynamic funding solutions become stronger than ever, and I look forward to supporting businesses every step along their growth journeys to achieve their goals.”
Damien Healey, head of relationship management (North) at Time Finance, says the appointment completes the lender’s regional team.
He says: “Sarah’s appointment brings our regional team to full strength, enhancing our expertise and ensuring Time Finance remains well positioned to continue its support for our SME clients.
“She joins us with extensive industry experience across a varied career, and we know her contributions will be essential in helping us continue to deliver vital support for our SMEs.”
