Leumi ABL is extending their regional presence with the appointment of Jonathan Hughes as regional sales director – Thames Valley and South West, and the opening of a new regional office in Reading. Leumi ABL works closely with the regional dealmaking communities and this move acknowledges the importance of the Thames Valley and south west regions to Leumi ABL’s continuing growth strategy.

Hughes – widely known as ‘Jot’ in the industry – has been actively writing mid-market and large ticket Invoice Discounting business for the past ten years, having held senior positions with GE Capital, Euro Sales Finance, Five Arrows Commercial Finance and most recently with GMAC Commercial Finance. A seasoned industry player, he is well known to professional introducers across the regions.

Having operated in Reading and the Thames Valley for some years, Hughes appreciates the value of being based at the heart of the region’s deal activity: “With the opportunity to open an office here, I’m delighted to be back in Reading. I’ll also be covering the area down to Southampton and across to Bristol and the south west. Leumi ABL is one of the few providers who is really open for business and for the first time in recent years I feel I have now joined a company that is able and very willing to write mid-market business.”

Commenting on this new addition to the team, Phil Woodward, managing director of Leumi ABL, added: “Jonathan brings with him a wealth of local industry knowledge and proven expertise which will further strengthen Leumi ABL’s reputation.”
