Royal Bank of Scotland has strengthened its Asset Based Lending team in London and the South East with the appointment of Charlie Hodgson as Business Development Director.

Well experienced and connected within the industry, Charlie has worked in the finance sector for over 20 years across both banking and advisory services.

The business has grown rapidly during the last few years and has incredible momentum.
