Cambridge & Counties Bank appoints asset finance BDM

Based in Glasgow, Elaine will focus on fulfilling demand from SMEs for asset finance solutions.

Elaine joins Cambridge & Counties Bank with almost 20 years’ experience in finance and business development. Prior to joining the bank, she spent over 10 years working for Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance, formerly GE Capital.

The Bank's asset finance suite helps SMEs invest in business-critical assets such as vehicles, construction equipment, plant and machinery, cranes, and CNC machinery.

Elaine Chandler said: “Cambridge & Counties Bank has developed a strong presence in Scotland. There are clear opportunities to expand the bank’s asset finance book in the market, given the highly competitive nature of the product suite and the bank’s deep commitment to customer excellence.”

Simon Hilyer, senior business development manager at Cambridge & Counties Bank, added: “We’re absolutely delighted to be expanding in Scotland and to have hired someone of Elaine’s calibre and track record of success. The bank continues to focus on market growth and across our product range, particularly asset finance, and we fully expect to see strong demand as the wider economy recovers.”
