Her extensive knowledge and expertise in the field have been invaluable in guiding companies through the financial landscape, ensuring they secure the necessary funding to support their growth and operational needs.
Carl Johnson, Sales Director UK & Ireland, comments on the expansion, “Expanding into Ireland represents the next logical step in our strategic growth plan for Anglo Scottish. With the creation of AS Finance Ireland, we are not only demonstrating our commitment to bringing our bespoke and tailored financial services to a new market but also reinforcing our dedication to understanding and meeting the specific needs of Irish businesses.”
Johnson further remarked, “With Cathy joining us and expanding our team in Ireland, we can utilise our vast experience and expertise to deliver financial solutions tailored to the distinct challenges and opportunities in the Irish market. We are eager to forge strong partnerships with local businesses and support their success by providing the same exceptional level of service and assistance that our clients in other regions have come to rely on.”
