FFE appoints senior lending manager

Doncaster-based Finance For Enterprise (FFE) has appointed Sean Thorn as senior business lending manager to support SME growth across the region.

Sean brings over 25 years’ industry experience, having held senior roles at Aldermore, HBOS and Barclays before running his own finance brokerage. 

In his new role, he will focus on delivering tailored lending solutions to businesses through brokers and intermediaries.

Sean said: “On learning about FFE and meeting the team, I was eager to be part of the journey. 

“Having worked across the finance sector and then stepping out on my own, I became disillusioned with the growing focus on automation and profit over people. 

“FFE prioritises service, understanding and community impact – all values I strongly believe in. 

“I’m looking forward to using my experience to help businesses not just survive but thrive.”

Andrew Austwick, managing director at FFE, added: “We are delighted to welcome Sean to the team. 

“His breadth of experience, particularly in the broker market, is a tremendous asset to our organisation. 

“Sean understands the value of personal relationships and the importance of working closely with businesses to find the right funding solutions. 

“His values align perfectly with our mission to support enterprise and promote economic growth in our communities.”
