People: Fair Result; ThinCats
Leicestershire-based divorce handler Fair Result has announced that the former England footballer, Mark Wright, will be joining its board of directors.
Wright will play an active role within the company focussing on his networks to support business development, particularly amongst current and former athletes.
He said: “I wish I had met Fair Result years ago when I went through my own divorce. The no-nonsense approach to evaluating what’s available and immediately negotiating a fair split of all the family assets has to be the way forward.”
Chris Sweetman, director and co-founder of Fair Result, said: “We are delighted to welcome Mark to the board. He has his own personal experience of divorce and is passionate about ensuring children are protected in family break up situations. He also approves of our system where the aim is to negotiate a fair and equal division of the families’ assets considering all the family needs as quickly as possible for one fixed fee quoted at the outset.”
Peter Talbot
Leicestershire alternative finance provider, ThinCats, has announced the hire of Peter Talbot for the new role of head of transaction management.
Talbot has over 20 years’ senior banking experience most recently at NatWest.
He said: “Joining Thincats at this time is an exciting prospect. The business is well set for the next phase of its growth and it is a fantastic opportunity to join a high-quality management team looking to bring the benefits of non-bank lending to a wider universe of mid-sized businesses. I am really looking forward to getting started.”
Mike Hackett, head of business development, ThinCats, said: “This is an exceptional time for ThinCats, with our recently announced £160m investment from Wafra Capital Partners alongside senior bank and institutional funding allowing us to support a further £2bn in new lending to the marketplace. Peter’s addition to the team brings a huge amount of relevant experience and knowledge of the market, enabling us to continue to support many more mid-sized SMEs in a truly effective way. He is further evidence of attracting quality people to the ThinCats family.”
