Bibby continues Queensland push
Bibby Financial Services is planning to expand its Queensland presence with the appointment of Amanda Bird as business development manager for the region.
Bird, who previously worked in the specialist debtor finance division of Bendigo Bank and CIT Group, will be responsible for driving new business in Queensland and will report to Allan Howe, Bibby Financial Services state manager for Queensland.
"The Queensland market is growing rapidly and represents 15 per cent of total debtor factoring turnover, equivalent to AUD$62.9 billion in the 12 months to 30 December, 2012," said Bibby national sales director Gary Green.
"Our decision to strengthen our sales and operations team in Queensland is reflective of the potential we see in this market," he added.
Prior to Bird's appointment, Bibby made several additions to the sales and operations team in Queensland, including Sally Taylor as client manager. Furthermore, Mark Cleaver has been appointed Bibby's new managing director for Australia and New Zealand, commencing his role earlier this month.
