Midlands Asset Finance expands regional presence

Shital Koria has joined the business to support SME and corporate clients across the country with any financial needs, including asset finance, invoice finance and property finance.

Joining from Lombard where she worked as a relationship manager, Shital also spent ten years as a business manager and service quality manager at Royal Bank of Scotland.

Shital is the ninth appointment of the year for MAF, following the recent hiring of five graduates earlier this month, as the firm continues its expansion which has seen the business more than double in size in the last 18 months.

Shital said: “I’m really excited about what’s in store at MAF and can’t wait to get stuck in.

“Dave & Sue [the directors] have really set out a vision for the company and are surround by a team of highly experienced and talented people who share that same vision.”

“I’m looking forward to building upon existing relationships and working on new ones with clients throughout the country.”

MAF director, Sue Chapman, added: “I’m delighted that Shital has joined the team here.

“She’s a huge coup for the business and comes with a vast amount of experience. With banks reducing their high street presence, MAF remain committed to meeting customers face-to-face to understand their business.

“Shital’s expertise in working across all areas of finance means she can assist local businesses in obtaining access to a variety of funding sources to help them grow.”
