The firm's headcount has risen to a total of 38.
Financial services broker, Midlands Asset Finance (MAF), has appointed James Dutton as sales director of asset finance.
Dutton (pictured) joins from Santander, where he spent six years as director of asset finance.
He has also previously worked for Barclays Bank and was at Yorkshire Bank for 15 years prior to that.
Dutton said: “In my 25 plus years of working in asset finance, I’ve learned that when a business is focused on delivering the best solution to their customers, success will follow.
“From my first visit to MAF, it has been clear to me that every single director and employee – no matter what their role – has the customer at the centre of everything that they do.”
“I am looking forward to helping existing contacts and broadening MAF’s customer base as I expand the team in the north.”
Sue Chapman, director at MAF, added: “We are delighted to announce the appointment of James to MAF.
“He has a distinguished career in asset finance, and as regional director for the north of England, he will be building out a team who will be supporting SME and corporate businesses to help them meet their investment plan objectives.”
MAF’s headcount has increased to 38, up from 27 at the end of 2018.
