Helen Boylett-Smith joins Reach Commercial Finance

Helen Boylett-Smith has joined the business development team of Leonard Curtis group's Reach Commercial Finance division, based at its Bamber Bridge offices.

Helen’s new remit is to help build on the brokerage's 500+ transactions and £250m raised since August 2014 whilst further strengthening the Leonard Curtis Business Solutions Group service offering amongst the region’s accountancy network and SME owners and lenders.

Helen brings 25 years of financial and business development experience, gained in senior positions within some of the world’s leading financial and professional services firms. These include AON and JP Morgan, where she was client director and vice president for business development respectively.

In her new role, Helen is responsible for analysing client requirements and being the connection between borrowers and lenders – to achieve the best client solutions.

She said: “I’ve brought with me some great experience gained at some of the world’s leading companies – all of which stands me in excellent stead to further strengthen and grow the Reach CF offering across the north west of England.

"Demand for its services is high and, as part of a much wider portfolio of commercial and financial expertise, we are ready to help protect and grow the region’s SMEs by providing the exact - and very often, specialist - support required.

Daniel Booth, director at LCBSG, said: “To make an appointment of this calibre is testament to our reputation and plans for the future. “We’re fast becoming the go-to specialists for an ever-increasing number of SME owners and their advisers in need of very specific advice and support at every stage of their business’ lifecycle. It’s great to have Helen on board to help do this.”
