ASSET finance provider Lombard has appointed Ian Hall as director of asset finance for its East Anglian and northern Home Counties region.

As a result of the appointment, Mr Hall will increase his responsibilities beyond Norfolk to take in Suffolk and north Essex.

He has worked for The Royal Bank of Scotland Group for 24 years, holding a variety of senior management roles.

He joined Lombard, which is part of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, five years ago, and relocated to Norwich, where he was centre manager, and later director of asset finance for Norfolk.

Mr Hall said it was “an exciting time” for him personally.

“I am confident that we can assist East Anglian and northern Home Counties businesses in their investment plans, helping them to develop and grow,” he said.
