Asset Alliance Group strengthens coach and bus funding team

Commercial vehicle funding specialist Asset Alliance Group has strengthened its coach and bus division with two appointments.

Scott Burke (pictured) has joined as National Sales Manager, while Jane Roberts has been named Sales Support Manager. 

Ms Roberts will manage the coach and bus sales process and provide what Asset Alliance describes as “dedicated focus and support across specific accounts.” She will also support the group’s truck and trailer sales division and work from Asset Alliance’s Ringwood offices, reporting to Head of Vendor Finance and Key Accounts Anthony Jones. 

Mr Burke has 15 years’ experience in coach and bus funding, with previous experience including positions with Mistral Asset Finance and Propel Finance. His remit covers strategic sales and the unlocking of new opportunities for the business. 

He says: “Asset Alliance Group’s personal and flexible approach to sales and customer relationships matches my own way of working. I am thrilled to be joining a team of experienced people who are really passionate about the industry. 

“There is no doubt that the effects of the pandemic hit the coach and bus industry hard, but it has been reassuring to see such resilience from companies and individuals. I am looking forward to working alongside growth-focused customers to ensure that they can get back to where they were – and beyond.” 

Mr Burke works from Asset Alliance’s base in Manchester. He reports to Sales Director Darren Fitzpatrick.
