Chesterfield-based commercial finance specialist, Bridge Help has promoted Katie Snodden to the newly created role of head of sales.
The promotion recognises the significant contribution Katie has made to the business since she joined as a business development manager in 2021.
In 2022 alone Katie secured more than £8m worth of loans for brokers throughout England and Wales. In her newly created role, she will now lead Bridge Help’s team of business development managers in growing the company’s loan book which it aims to double in 2023.
Chris Sellars, CEO and general counsel of Bridge Help, said: “Katie has built some amazing relationships across the industry, all whilst taking on additional responsibilities within the company. Her appointment is integral to our growth plans for next year and she is absolutely the right person for this role.” Katie added: “I am thrilled to take on this exciting role. One of the many reasons I joined Bridge Help was the opportunity to grow my career and skillset within the business.”
Katie joined the bridging finance sector from the transport and logistics sector having previously worked within financial services for a large, chartered accountancy firm in London. Her appointment at Bridge Help signalled her return to the financial services sector, which she describes as her ‘first love’.
