IGF appoints new ABL director

Independent Growth Finance (IGF), a specialist provider of asset-based lending solutions, has appointed Graham Leaney as ABL director for the South West of England and South Wales.

Graham brings over 20 years of experience in asset-based lending and working capital finance, having held senior roles at HSBC, Close Brothers Invoice Finance, Siemens Invoice Finance and Bibby.

He will lead IGF’s delivery of tailored financial solutions across the region and focus on building strong relationships with financial advisors, turnaround practitioners, accountants, corporate financiers, business owners and private equity sponsors.

Graham, who is based in North Devon, said: “I am looking forward to helping mid-sized businesses across the South West and South Wales achieve their growth aspirations. 

“There are many businesses across our region which are being restricted by limited access to bank funding and IGF can offer an alternative flexible solution to mid-sized businesses in this space who require quick decision making and a tailored approach.”

Joysheel Mitter, commercial director at IGF, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Graham to the team. 

“As IGF continues to grow and expand its support for UK businesses, Graham’s appointment will play a key role in enhancing our presence in the region. 

“We welcome Graham at a very exciting time for our company, off the back of a string of new senior appointments and promotions at IGF. 

“We’re sure his in-depth knowledge of the regional market will add significant strength to our team and help us continue to deliver exceptional results.”
