Key Account Manager (General Assets)

Mark is one of our key account managers and, having worked in the commercial finance sector since 1994 and with Bluestone since 2010, is one of the most experienced members of the team. Mark can arrange finance for any asset, but much of his experience lies in technology, reprographics, telecoms, security, and green energy.

'I think our partners and customers continue to work with us because of our honest and transparent approach, and our commitment to quick and open communication. Suppliers expect to be kept informed and updated to ensure transactions are processed with the minimum fuss. As a business, we go the extra mile and don't hide away from challenging deals.

'The asset finance market changed a lot during the early years of the recession, and in 2010 an opportunity came up to work for Bluestone, a business that was growing strongly and, unlike many other intermediaries, not a lifestyle business. It's like a family here – everyone consciously wants to do well and play their part and I think this comes across to our partners and customers who often praise us for going the extra-mile.

'I like the way that Bluestone approaches finance. I am left to work in my own way and build relationships with clients that work for both parties. The company provides a great deal of support for employees, partners and customers, and that simultaneously motivates the team and ensures our clients return to us again and again.

'The best part of working in finance is the variety of people and businesses that I meet. I feel like I make a big difference and add value, and I still enjoy the buzz of being able to secure funding where no one else can – especially if I'm working to a deadline.‍
