Close Premium Finance has appointed its first ever network relationship manager.

Close said the appointment was made in recognition of the growing importance of broker networks and alliances.

Allan Oliver takes up the role, and is responsible for building relationships with the UK's networks and ensuring these partnerships run smoothly and effectively.

“It's my job to make sure existing Close brokers are benefiting from the deals we do with their network,” said Oliver.

“As for those brokers who haven't yet given us a go, I explain to them what they're missing out on by not using one of the market's major funders.”

Allan has worked at Close for two years, in a number of broker-facing roles. He was most recently campaigns manager and is skilled at helping brokers develop their premium finance offer to customers through competitive rates and the use of technology.
