RBS strengthens ABL team,

Royal Bank of Scotland has strengthened its Asset Based Lending team in London and the South East with the appointment of Charlie Hodgson as Business Development Director.

Well experienced and connected within the industry, Charlie has worked in the finance sector for over 20 years across both banking and advisory services. He joins Royal Bank of Scotland from ABN AMRO Commercial Finance where he held the role of Regional Director in Structured and Corporate Finance.

Charlie Hodgson, Business Development Director for London and South East, said: “I’m delighted to be joining Royal Bank of Scotland’s Asset Based Lending team. The business has grown rapidly during the last few years and has incredible momentum. I’m looking forward to contributing towards its further expansion, supporting the ambitions of new and existing clients. I believe there remains enormous potential to expand the use of ABL by the Private Equity sector and other growth companies, either as a standalone solution or as part of a multi-layered capital structure.”

Mark Cattle, Head of Asset Based Lending, London and South East, added: “Charlie has a wealth of experience in Asset Based Lending both as a lender and as a business developer, which are undoubtedly the key strengths he brings to this role. He is an outstanding banking professional and his appointment brings great additional calibre to our Asset Based Lending team.
