Independent SME lender, Time Finance, has appointed Ria Seward as a relationship manager within its invoice finance division.

Ria joins the lender in its Reading office and will be responsible for managing a portfolio of diverse clients, ensuring their invoice finance facilities are running smoothly. She will manage the risk within her portfolio as well as maintain high levels of client satisfaction and retention. 

With nearly 14 years of experience in invoice finance, Ria began her career at Ultimate Finance, where she spent four years as a credit controller before being promoted to relationship manager, a role she held for nine years. Prior to joining Time Finance, she was at Paragon Banking Group as an invoice finance account manager.

Ria commented: “I'm really excited to be joining Time Finance. It’s great to be part of an independent lender that looks beyond a simple yes or no and genuinely takes the time to understand the businesses it supports. I’m looking forward to getting started, building strong relationships with my clients, and providing the support they need to help their businesses grow.”

Charlotte Wall, head of relationship management (South), said: “We’re delighted to welcome Ria to the Time invoice finance team. With her experience and relationship management skills, she will play a key role in supporting our clients and maintaining the high levels of service we pride ourselves on. Ria’s approach aligns perfectly with our values as a people-first independent lender, and we’re confident she will make a significant contribution as we continue to grow and strengthen our client relationships.”
