Expanding fintech firm opens new Nottingham office

Vision Blue, the Dublin-based credit technology specialist, is opening a new office in Nottingham as it expands into the personal insolvency and personal money management markets.

Martin Prigent has been appointed as director to lead a twelve-strong team based in Nottingham’s Castle Marina. Prigent previously spent more than a decade at debt recovery experts, TDX Group.

Set to launch new insolvency management platforms, an industry insights hub and consumer money management products, VisionBlue says it has plans to introduce new disruptive technology to “digitise a largely paper-based industry, speeding up processes and improving transparency”.

The Nottingham business is expected to further expand over the next twelve months, with more hires anticipated and a consumer-focused product being planned to launch within the year.

Prigent said: “I am delighted to be joining Vision Blue at this exciting time for the insolvency market. Vision Blue recognises that the market needs to modernise and apply technology to help the consumer and creditor manage their insolvencies more effectively. I look forward to working with the experienced team in Nottingham to deliver solutions to these challenges in the market.”

James Scott, partner at Pollen Street Capital, added: “Pollen Street are delighted to be able to support Vision Blue in their continued growth. The opening of a new office in Nottingham, together with the build out of the team there, will provide a great base for further development of new products as well as coverage of a number of core UK customers.”
