Background

Since it was established and launched on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in 2002, ultimate finance group plc has helped many businesses survive and prosper, particularly in recent years when banks have been increasingly inflexible and reluctant to lend.

ultimate finance group was founded by chief executive Richard Pepler and group managing director, Jeremy Coombes, in response to increasing demand from SMEs for flexible funding solutions.

The company is recognised for its senior management team of highly experienced, financial services professionals committed to offering SMEs a refreshingly different service where decisions are based on individual merit and a true understanding of each business case.

The Manchester team is led by managing director (North West) Austin Thorp, who provides his extensive industry experience and drive to build and grow the Manchester team.
