CCBS Group expands leadership team

Award-winning North East commercial finance specialist CCBS Group has bolstered its leadership team with two senior appointments, continuing a landmark year for the business.

Following its tenth anniversary in 2024 and a successful management buyout earlier this year, Andrew Welton has joined as relationship development director and Carly Dove as director of business performance. 

Both roles are designed to support growth, deepen client and funder relationships and enhance service delivery across the region.

Andrew joins from global insurance broker Gallagher, bringing experience in business development and client engagement, while Carly brings over a decade of senior leadership from the education technology sector, with a track record of driving operational efficiency and team performance.

Since its launch in 2014, CCBS Group has supported hundreds of North East SMEs with tailored finance solutions. 

These appointments reinforce the firm’s ongoing investment in people and services as it enters its next chapter of growth.

Graeme Harrison, managing director at CCBS Group, said: “Andrew’s experience across marketing and financial services makes him a fantastic addition to the team. 

“He brings energy, insight, and a genuine passion for helping businesses grow – strengthening our ability to connect clients with the right funder at the right time.

“The buyout earlier this year was a defining moment for CCBS. It’s given us the opportunity to move forward with fresh ideas and renewed momentum.

“Carly’s appointment into this newly created role is a key part of that journey, helping us build the structure needed to support our next phase of growth.”
