Time Finance Bolsters Invoice Finance Team with Industry Veteran

In the ever-evolving landscape of financial services, Time Finance has made a strategic move to bolster its Invoice Finance division with the appointment of Danielle Lynch as Relationship Manager. This appointment comes at a pivotal moment for the company, which has been on a trajectory of growth and expansion, particularly in the invoice finance sector. Lynch, with over two decades of experience in the financial services industry, brings a wealth of operational and relationship management skills that are expected to significantly enhance Time Finance's client satisfaction and retention rates.

Lynch's career spans a range of operational roles at firms such as Bibby Financial Services in both the UK and Australia, Scottish Pacific Business Finance, and Westminster National Finance Brokers. Her most recent role as Head of Invoice Finance at Funding Alternative Group Ltd further solidifies her expertise in managing client queries, delivering service support, and developing relationships across her client portfolio. Her extensive experience in relationship management is evident in her comment on her appointment: “I am thrilled to have accepted a role with Time Finance. After gathering over 20 years of experience in different operational roles, I have accumulated a wealth of incredible relationship management experience and feel excited to bring this to the business. Time’s client reviews over the last 6 months have been really positive, so I look forward to having the same impact by building genuine relationships with my own client portfolio.”

Time Finance's recent growth is reflected in its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 November 2024, which showcased record-breaking performance. The company's lending book reached a record £209.4 million, up 11% year-on-year, and profit before tax saw a 44% increase to £3.9 million. These financial metrics indicate a strong demand for the Group’s alternative finance products from UK businesses, which Lynch's appointment will help sustain and grow. Charlotte Wall, Head of Relationship Management (South) at Time Finance, highlighted the importance of Lynch's skills in contributing to the company's success: “We are thrilled to welcome Danielle to the Time Invoice Finance team. We have had a successful start to 2025 and Danielle will be contributing to the continuation of this success in our client relationships, as we remain a bold, genuine independent lender who prioritises the client experience above everything else.”

The appointment of Danielle Lynch aligns closely with Time Finance's strategic goals and recent growth trajectory in the invoice finance sector. The company has been actively investing in its people and service offerings, as evidenced by a series of recent appointments. For instance, Jamie O’Neill was hired as Business Development Manager and Greg Hussey as Head of Risk, both in the Invoice Finance division. These appointments underscore Time Finance's commitment to strengthening its team to better serve its clients and drive growth.

In summary, the appointment of Danielle Lynch as Relationship Manager within Time Finance's Invoice Finance division is a strategic move that aligns with the company's goals of enhancing client relationships and sustaining its growth trajectory. Lynch's extensive experience and expertise in relationship management are expected to significantly contribute to Time Finance's client satisfaction and retention rates, further solidifying its position as a leading independent lender in the invoice finance sector.
