“The bank already has an excellent reputation in the market for providing innovative vehicle financing solutions. Scott’s appointment will help us further build on this as we look to extend both our broker and dealer relationships and grow our stock funding portfolio.”

Scott Riley added: “From my initial conversations with Paul, I could see that my extensive experience and contacts in the specialist car market would be a good fit with the bank’s plans for further growth in this area.

“Furthermore, I am excited by the challenge of being part of the development team for a new product in Vehicle Stock Finance as well as the appeal of working with some outstanding dealer partners and brokers in this market.”
