Record month for Haydock

Blackburn-based Haydock Finance has announced a record month in March after providing more than £20m of new asset finance facilities to businesses across the UK.

The SME asset finance provider has also revealed ambitious growth plans - driven by expanded coverage and diversification of its offering.

It says that offering now spans “multiple asset refinancing” as well as finance provision for new and used business assets in a variety of traditional and specialist markets.

The business is one of the largest asset finance companies in the UK with gross receivables in excess of £250m.

Managing director Steve Worrall said: “While the company continues to grow, maintaining a strong pipeline of new opportunities, we’re also determined to improve on our undisputed quality of service even further.

“The experience, expertise and diligence of our dedicated team of 60 means that we are confident of doing so.”

Haydock has revealed that it has also made a number of “key appointments” over the past six months.

And it is in the process of recruiting and developing a team of field-based regional managers to “further complement and strengthen the existing service provision by dedicated underwriters and office-based broker relationship managers”.

Established in 1980, Haydock Finance has operated from offices in Blackburn for more than 35 years.
