Business e-lender Everline has hired Henry Audley-Charles as senior business development manager for intermediaries in the South.

Audley-Charles joins Everline from a career in banking, with the past 15 years spent as a business development manager within the invoice finance sector.

He previously worked for HSBC, RBS and Lloyds, which has equipped him with a good working knowledge of cash flow finance and working with intermediaries.

Audley-Charles said: “Having been involved for many years in the commercial finance field, I believe that Everline’s fully automated approach to business lending represents the future for delivering working capital to business owners in the kind of timeframe that would have been unthinkable only a few years ago.”

Russell Gould, chief operating officer at Everline, said: “With over 15 years’ experience of the commercial finance world, Henry’s credentials and knowledge of the market are second to none.

“I’m confident he will help Everline fulfil its goal of providing more of the country’s businesses with access to the working capital they need in order to achieve their own growth plans.”

Audley-Charles’ appointment follows a number of changes to the company’s broker channel, including the launch of its automatic commission payout feature.
