Secure Trust Bank (STB) Commercial Finance has appointed John Gribbon (pictured above) as its regional director.

Prior to joining STB, John spent 26 years at RBS Invoice Finance in various senior leadership positions, including regional managing director in the North.

At STB, he will be responsible for building the bank's brand, identifying opportunities to support local SMEs and the professional community with a view to building a local team in Leeds.

John said: “Secure Trust Bank Commercial Finance has demonstrated its commitment to funding the UK's SME community, and works in partnership with management teams and advisers to devise truly bespoke funding facilities.

“I am looking forward to working with the professional community and businesses across Yorkshire and the North East, and developing STB's already strong reputation for delivery.”

Sean Powell, national sales director at Secure Trust Bank Commercial Finance, added: “John's strong reputation and expertise make him an excellent addition to the team, and will help us grow our operations into new regional markets.

“John will be an integral part of our senior leadership team and will support us as we continue to grow our lending balances at the impressive rate we have seen in recent times with a strong focus on service.”

STB recently announced it had agreed £94.2m worth of lending to UK SMEs in the year to 30th June 2017, up 72% on the same period last year.
