On the move: the latest East Midlands hires
West Bridgford-based creative agency The Dairy has promoted account executive Tom Walters to account manager.
The Dairy’s managing director Nigel Rowlson felt the time was right for Tom to make the step up to the position of account manager.
He said; “Tom has brought enthusiasm, sound expertise and fresh creative ideas to The Dairy since he joined us in 2016.
“He has come on leaps and bounds – developing his skills and becoming the go-to person for PR and social media advice. His professional approach and ability to work closely with clients and successfully manage projects through to completion has more than earned him this opportunity – and we cannot wait to see him flourish further in the role of Account Manager” added Nigel.
Walters said: “I am proud to have been part of the exciting journey The Dairy has been on in the past few years.
“I have been fortunate enough to be involved in some great projects already, and I love that we have a forward-thinking team and a solid reputation locally. I am really looking forward to my new role and continuing to grow and develop my skill set with The Dairy.”
Rob Thompson
Ashby-based alternative finance specialist ThinCats has Rob Thompson to the newly-created role of regional head of credit for the North.
Thompson’s role will accelerate the rate at which Thincats is able to structure and process loans, in the way that best addresses the needs of companies and investors alike.
He said: “I’ll be working alongside our origination team to shape and structure the deals, helping resolve any problems and being actively involved in the whole credit process right the way through to completion.”
Damon Walford, chief development officer at ThinCats, said: “Business borrowers are frequently frustrated when they deal with ‘conventional’ lenders, in that the Relationship Managers they deal with appear to be like a post-box into which they drop their requirements, with the decisions being made by a far-off and faceless credit team.
“That isn’t the case with ThinCats; we act as a Team and ask the right questions at the outset. We make the whole process more efficient.”
Thompson added: “That’s what first attracted me to ThinCats – the fact that we have the knowledge and experience of a traditional lender but think smarter. We understand how a business works and listen to its financing needs, rather than using a remotely-executed tick-box approach that frustrates so many companies trying to raise finance. ThinCats analytics are first class and the data-mining exceptional.”
