Anglo Scottish Asset Finance expands into Republic of Ireland

This move includes the launch of a new division, AS Finance Ireland, created to meet the unique financial needs of Irish businesses.

As part of this expansion, the company has strengthened its team with the appointment of Cathy McGale, a highly experienced finance professional with over 25 years in the industry.

Cathy brings extensive knowledge of cross-border finance and is key to the company’s plans for growth and delivering excellent customer service in the region.

Anglo Scottish has successfully operated in Northern Ireland for several years, helping businesses and individuals with asset and motor finance.

With the introduction of AS Finance Ireland and Cathy’s leadership, the company is now equipped to serve clients across the entire island of Ireland. Since launching in early January, they’ve already completed deals worth several million euros.

Carl Johnson, Sales Director UK & Ireland, said:“Expanding into Ireland represents the next logical step in our strategic growth plan for Anglo Scottish. With the creation of AS Finance Ireland, we are not only demonstrating our commitment to bringing our bespoke and tailored financial services to a new market but also reinforcing our dedication to understanding and meeting the specific needs of Irish businesses.

“With Cathy joining us and expanding our team in Ireland, we can utilise our vast experience and expertise to deliver financial solutions tailored to the distinct challenges and opportunities in the Irish market.

“We are eager to forge strong partnerships with local businesses and support their success by providing the same exceptional level of service and assistance that our clients in other regions have come to rely on.”

Cathy added: “I’m delighted to have joined Anglo Scottish at this pivotal time in its expansion journey. The opportunity to be part of such a dynamic and forward-thinking company is incredibly exciting. I am eager to contribute my skills and experience to the growth of AS Finance Ireland, and I look forward to playing a key role in establishing our presence in the Irish market.”

Established in 2007 by four asset funding experts from both sides of the English-Scottish border, Anglo Scottish provides customised asset and commercial funding solutions for businesses, along with private vehicle finance options, covering prestige cars, caravans, motorhomes, campervans, and motorcycles.
