Press Release: New arrival at Ludgate Finance

A firm of financial experts is on course to further establish itself in the Black Country and Staffordshire after adding an experienced head to its team.

Ludgate Finance, which has offices in Birmingham and Coventry, has just recruited Steve Grice as the firm’s business development manager.

The 39-year-old, from Wolverhampton, has expert knowledge and a strong contact base in the Black Country and Staffordshire areas after spending three years in his previous role as business development manager for the Black Country Reinvestment Society.

During his previous tenure Grice was able to grow his employer’s portfolio from around £500,000 to more than £3 million and now he is hoping to use his knowledge and experience to further establish Ludgate in the Black Country and Staffordshire as well as strengthening existing links in Coventry, Warwickshire and Birmingham.

Grice, who also spent time as a commercial manager at HSBC, said: “I was familiar with Ludgate prior to joining them as I had worked closely with them on a number of projects through my previous employer and had got to know them well.

“What attracted me to the role was the opportunity to get out there and get my hands dirty and add to our existing network – if people ask me where I’m based I say the car!

“My main aim is to try and add to the strong connections we already have in Coventry and Birmingham by using my contacts and experience to establish the firm in the Black Country and Staffordshire areas.”

Ludgate Finance was established in 2007 and specialises in fundraising, turnaround and financial troubleshooting for business.

Richard Mason, director of Ludgate Finance said: “We are delighted that Steve has joined us.

“The contacts and expertise he brings will help Ludgate grow in the Black Country and Staffordshire.
“We have had many successes with helping local businesses and have just finished a third year of strong growth, so this expansion is a natural next step.”
