The two hires will expand Nucleus' asset based lending team.
Nucleus Commercial Finance has expanded its asset based lending team (ABL) with the appointment of Niall Dunphy as senior relationship manager and Odhran Dodd as regional sales director.
Dunphy joins Nucleus from Santander Invoice Finance where he helped build the bank’s largest and highest earning SME portfolios in the south of the country.
Joining as senior relationship manager, Dunphy will lead the client services team and manage the upscale of Nucleus’ ABL portfolios.
Dodd joins from HMT and has over 20 years experience specialising in debt advisory and M&A, buyouts, real estate financings and advising on distressed transactions.
As regional sales director for London and the surrounding areas, Dodd will head the alternative lender’s growth in the private equity space.
Chirag Shah, chief executive at Nucleus Commercial Finance, said: “Niall and Odhran bring many years of experience in the ABL space having worked with a variety of businesses across a range of sectors.
"These two new additions to the team are central in helping expand and strengthen Nucleus’ capabilities and further demonstrates our ambitious plans to continue providing innovative finance solutions to businesses in the UK.”
