new national team to work for asset-based lenders (ABLs), merging
its existing asset finance and invoice finance teams to create a
single team serving ABL clients.
Part of Shoosmiths’ lender services group, the new team will cover

Chell, based in Northampton; Manchester-based Harold Brako; and
Chris McClure, from Southampton. Head of collections Kevin Parker
is based in Northampton. Parker, who leads a 26-strong collections
team, recently rolled out Shoosmiths’ portfolio management product
to a wider audience after it proved successful with major
clients.
