Just Cashflow commercial chief appointed deputy CEO of parent group

The chief commercial officer at Just Cashflow has been appointed as deputy CEO and board director of the lender’s parent group JLG Group.

John Davies, group CEO, JLG Group, said Martine Catton would “bring fresh enthusiasm” to the role.

Catton currently serves as a director of Just Cashflow as well as its chief commercial officer, a role she will continue in.

Davies said: “We are delighted to have appointed Martine as both deputy chief executive and to our board as she will bring fresh enthusiasm and perspective along with her expert industry knowledge.

“Martine is extremely well qualified to take on her new duties and her appointment is the first in a series that will show we are committed to building a strong and diverse management team that can tackle the challenges and opportunities a post Covid world will present.

“Martine has made a major contribution to ensuring we have been able to adapt and help customers meet the challenges posed by the various Covid related lockdowns. 

"She clearly shares my passion for helping UK SMEs invest and grow and has been championing collaboration between lenders to ensure the best outcome for customers."

Catton said: "JLG Group is a company that never stands still and we understand the challenges SMEs will increasingly face in obtaining working capital. 

“I'm looking forward to contributing to JLG Group's determination to continue bridging this gap with a focus on identifying flexible and innovative funding solutions that will meet their needs.”

Catton, who has previously worked at Aldermore Bank, Hitachi Capital and Barclays, joined Just Cashflow last year.
