TL Dallas is in credit with four new team members

TL Dallas has appointed four new team members within its busy trade credit division, who will be based in Yorkshire and Scotland.

Account executives, Lon Shepherd and Martin Garrow have more than 26 years combined industry experience and join from invoice finance and banking backgrounds. Nat Wright and Poppy Whyte join as apprentices from Leeds Sixth Form College.

Director, Simon Hyde, said: “With insolvencies on the increase and an uncertain economic climate, more businesses than ever before are opting to take out trade credit insurance to protectthemselves against the risks associated with selling goods and services on credit.

“That’s why we have appointed two seasoned finance professionals and also expanded the team with two new talented and enthusiastic apprentices. Martin will be based in Scotland, where we already have a team of six and are actively recruiting for a seventh team member. Lon, Nat and Poppy will all be based at our headquarters in Bradford, and their appointments bolsters our highly experienced trade credit team to 14.”

Lon said: “Having worked for almost nine years in credit control and invoice finance roles managing more than 80 clients, I was keen to continue my career at an independent business with an excellent reputation in the trade credit market. The invoice finance sector is very much allied to credit insurance, with many clients having an invoice finance company noted as the beneficiary of the credit insurance policy, so it made sense to make the move.”

Martin said: “I started my finance career in banking 17 years ago and have worked in bill payment, supply chain finance and sales director roles. With a strong focus on client relationships and the analytical side of business finance, I have always found the trade credit side of insurance appealing and am excited to be joining the leading player in this field.”

Simon added: “We supply trade credit insurance, which protects businesses from the risk of non-payment and late payment, to clients based as far north as Shetland, all the way down to Devon, and everywhere in between!

“We have such a strong team, clients who have been with the firm for decades, as well as many new clients in every sector, including the construction, food, haulage and engineering industries, and these four new appointments will help us to continue servicing them all to the very highest standard.”

“Truly a job well done and really appreciate all the discussions on our behalf.”
“I have been most impressed by the customer service from TL Dallas when a problem was discovered in the bathroom of a property which I own, and which is rented out. They were very patient when personal issues caused a delay in a quote coming to them and again when there was a delay with the invoice. We also couldn't be more delighted with the swift payment of our claim by the claims handling team at Aviva.”
“Just a brief note to say how grateful I am for all your help sorting out the hotel policy this year. Over the years I have valued your cooperation in getting not only the most appropriate cover but at the best price.”

James RycroftManaging Director, Vida Healthcare.
We have been dealing with TL Dallas for over 30 years and have always found them to be efficient. They have created insurance policies that are tailored to our needs, which has helped us evolve the company. Like every business, you only find out how good an insurance company is when you need to make a claim. This has been effortless when this has occurred and I strongly recommend TL Dallas for your insurance needs.
Peter DurkinManaging Director, Mini Gears (Stockport) Ltd
We are so grateful that you helped to resolve a situation that was causing us great concern. After being badly let down by our previous insurance provider, and after seven months of emails, phone calls and lost documents, we decided to try elsewhere. After only one week of contacting TL Dallas, we had our policy sorted and at a much lower price, which in this current economic climate makes a huge difference to us. Your professionalism and knowledge of the Social Care Sector is second to none and we are so pleased that we took the decision to move to TL Dallas. We will definitely be recommending TL Dallas to our colleagues within the care sector, and we look forward to a long and enduring working relationship as we move our business forward.
