Azets appoints Assistant Manager

Debt advisory specialist, Azets, has announced it has appointed Vicky Fisher as Assistant Manager.

Fisher has previously worked for Lloyds Bank for 22 years and will continue to sit on the board at Business in Focus, a social enterprise which helps Welsh start-ups, in a volunteer role as a non-executive director.

Fisher will be working with Martyn Freeman, a Debt Advisory Director based in Gloucester.

Mark Barrie, London-based Head of Debt Advisory at Azets UK, said “Vicky joins Martyn in assisting SME owners and managers across the western and central regions in all aspects of finance, the lifeblood of all businesses, large and small.

“Industry figures show that SME borrowing in the UK is circa £62 billion, with around two in five SMEs requiring external finance, whether that is to service growth, asset finance, cashflow issues, restructuring or to switch to cheaper debt.

“Our latest appointment is the first of three we have planned for the early part of this year, to meet commercial demand, with plans to grow Scotland and the South as well.”
