WeDo Business Finance bolsters credit team

WeDo Business Finance has created a new senior role to accelerate deal completions and support SMEs across the UK. 

Aman Gill has been appointed head of credit risk and underwriting at the Oldham-based firm.

He brings nearly 20 years of experience in financial services, joining from Bibby Financial Services, where he led trade services and corporate underwriting for asset-based lending.

Aman said: “I’m thrilled to be joining WeDo Business Finance at such an exciting stage in its growth journey.

“WeDo’s ambition and entrepreneurial spirit really stood out to me, and I’m looking forward to contributing to that momentum, from helping to increase our average facility size to playing a role in developing new products that meet the evolving needs of UK SMEs.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to blend robust risk management with innovation and commerciality, tapping into my experience of structuring and underwriting invoice finance and trade finance facilities over the years.

“I’ve enjoyed getting stuck into meetings with prospective clients and introducers from my very first day.

“I’ve always admired the culture at WeDo, from speaking with previous colleagues who are now here, and social media posts. 

“Now that I’m part of the team, I can see why it’s such as great place to be – it’s the people that make it really stand out.”

WeDo provides senior secured working capital facilities through invoice, asset and trade finance, alongside growth support services including outsourced accountancy, HR, IT and back-office functions. 

Serving sectors from recruitment to manufacturing, the group’s lending currently exceeds £50 million and aims to reach £100 million within three years.

Founded in 2019 by Mark Lindsay and Chris Robinson, WeDo has grown to over 70 staff and was named in the 2025 Sunday Times Best Places to Work list for the second consecutive year.

Kelly Tighe, WeDo’s chief risk officer, added: “Aman brings vast experience in credit risk management, underwriting and corporate finance, as well as in the invoice finance market.

“His knowledge and professionalism, alongside a deep understanding of the corporate sector and proven ability to balance commercial opportunity with prudent risk assessment, make him a valuable addition to the leadership team and we’re excited to have him on board.

“He’ll play a key role in supporting us through the next phase of our growth. 

“This new position will strengthen our sales support function and accelerate our deal turnaround, and it reflects our commitment to delivering faster, more efficient services to clients while maintaining rigorous risk standards.

“Having this expertise within the business will enable our sales team to move quickly and confidently, ensuring deals are assessed, approved and completed with minimal delay.”
