"Whilst commercial loans have been part of their portfolio since their inception over two decades ago, there is a renewed ambition to enhance and drive forward this important part of the business."
Sharon will have overall responsibility for the operation and performance of commercial loans for the business. In addition to this, Sharon will lead the firm's plans to develop and deliver an asset based lending solution to the market.
