Time Finance has strengthened its Invoice Finance division with the appointment of Sarah Rishworth as Relationship Manager, further expanding its operational support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Based at the lender’s Manchester office, Rishworth brings more than 25 years of experience in the commercial finance industry, having held relationship management and client-facing roles at several major financial institutions.

In her new role, Rishworth will support Time Finance’s invoice finance clients, helping businesses manage their funding requirements and access ongoing operational support.

Her appointment follows a series of Relationship Manager recruits as Time Finance continues to invest in its regional teams and strengthen its service offering to SMEs.

Commenting on her appointment, Rishworth said: “Time Finance has a brilliant reputation for building genuine relationships based on flexibility. As a lender, it has always provided vital support for businesses, and I’m really pleased to be joining a team that values these key components for its clients.

“We’ve seen the demand for dynamic funding solutions become stronger than ever, and I look forward to supporting businesses every step along their growth journeys to achieve their goals.”
