Veteran pair join Metro Bank invoice finance business

Metro Bank has announced a pair of appointments in its invoice finance business, bolstering the growing area of the 13-year old bank.

The bank on Tuesday said that Vicky Jones-Ayre had joined as a relationship manager for the South-West region and Keith Godfrey had been hired as a business development director for Thames Valley, West London and South.

Jones-Ayre joins from Ultimate Finance where she had worked for over 17 years in a number of senior client-facing roles.

Godfrey meanwhile has worked in commercial finance for more than 25 years, most recently within head of sales roles with E-Capital, Calverton Finance and Data Interconnect.

Metro said that both roles will support the continued growth of the bank’s invoice finance customer base and building its proposition.

Martyn Price, regional director, Invoice Finance at Metro Bank, said: “Metro Bank has made a great impact since it entered the market. Our store network and industry leading broker proposition have allowed us to grow in strength while supporting hundreds of businesses. I’m delighted to welcome both Vicky and Keith today.”
