MAF Finance Group (MAF) has appointed seasoned director, Jon Bennett, to head up its sales operation in the East Midlands.

The appointment is part of the national finance broker’s ongoing growth strategy following its acquisition by Begbies Traynor Group earlier this year.

Overall, he has been working with SMEs and owner-managed businesses across Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire for over 25 years.

MAF managing director, Dave Chapman, says:

“We are delighted to welcome Jon to the team. This is a key appointment for MAF, with Jon already having many clients and professional contacts across the region. Businesses are increasingly looking at their funding strategies for growth as we continue to emerge from the pandemic and we’re looking forward to extending our offer to support more businesses with a range of finance solutions across the region.”

Jon Bennett, East Midlands sales director, adds:

“I’m excited to be joining such a well-respected commercial financial brokerage in MAF, and very much looking forward to helping grow and develop businesses further by assisting SMEs navigate the increasingly complex UK debt landscape.”

Jon continues:

“I am also relishing the opportunity to expand awareness of the MAF offering and its various specialist divisions to my network so we can work together to help SMEs and deliver further growth across the East Midlands region.”
