AFS Group Holdings Ltd, the Blackburn-based business that encompasses the award-winning Asset Finance Solutions (UK) Ltd, AFS Compliance Ltd, and Synergy Commercial Finance Ltd, has announced the appointment of David Metcalfe as the new Group Finance Director. This newly created role reflects the continued strong growth of the Group and its businesses over the past 12 months.

David joins AFS Group following a long tenure at a leading wholesale business based in Manchester. He brings a wealth of experience from his senior finance roles at well-known organisations such as Barclays and the Department of Work and Pensions. In his new role, David will work closely with AFS Compliance Ltd Finance Director, Maggie Morgan, as he integrates into the company.

Commenting on the appointment, Group MD Nick Simpson said, “As we have continued to grow, we’ve focused our recruitment on customer-supporting roles within both Asset Finance Solutions (UK) Ltd and Synergy Commercial Finance. However, with the planned expansion of the Group’s portfolio, we felt the time was right to further strengthen our senior management team. It was essential for us to find not only the right skill set but also the right attitude for this role. We are thrilled to welcome David on board and look forward to driving the Group forward together.”
