Meet James, Specialist Business Finance

I currently work in our Specialist Business Finance sales support function supporting our Structured Asset Finance, Flow and Specialist Car business lines. In addition to this, I am the internal point of contact for circa 100 of our brokers. What I love about HTB is that there are no barriers. If you are good at your job you get noticed and rewarded accordingly. I am a driven and ambitious individual and HTB has given me responsibility from an early stage.

Over the last 18 months, I feel my exposure to the range of different departments and skills has had a massive impact on my career path.

We work in a very supportive environment, which stems from senior management down to colleagues. HTB is a young and vibrant company and as a relatively new player in the market, we understand the need to be different to other lenders in our sector. This approach is driven by a positive culture of constant feedback and understanding the needs of our customers and intermediaries in our chosen markets.

I joined HTB as their first apprentice under a modern apprenticeship programme. Since joining, I have gained invaluable experience within the Specialist Business Finance department in a number of areas including sales, credit and operations.

Over the last 18 months, I feel my exposure to the range of different departments and skills has had a massive impact on my career path. The supportive working environment has enabled me to develop to a point where I have been promoted twice since joining and I am now working towards the next stage in my career at HTB.

In the summer I play as much cricket as possible and I also love my football, both playing and being an Arsenal season ticket holder.

HTB continue to monitor the situation surrounding COVID-19 and would like to reassure customers that we are operating normal business hours, 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday with no interruptions to our service. Please get in touch here, or via your usual method should you have any concerns.
