Compass Business Finance has appointed Lorna Campbell in a newly formed role as Head of Operations as the company continues to grow.
Strengthening its senior leadership team to support expanding broker and direct lending activities, asset finance specialist Compass Business Finance has appointed Lorna Campbell as Head of Operations. Bringing more than 35 years of operational leadership in asset-based lending to the role, Campbell will oversee process optimisation and service delivery across the firm’s UK broker network.
Campbell joins the Kent-headquartered independent lender following more than two decades at Close Brothers, where she served as Operations Manager and Head of Customer Relationship Management. Her background spans the entire funding lifecycle, including proposal processing, payout, portfolio management, facility maturity, and complex deal structuring.
Head of Operations at Compass Business Finance, Lorna Campbell, commented, “I’m delighted to be joining Compass at such an exciting stage in its journey. The business has built a strong reputation for its customer-focused approach, specialist expertise, and commitment to delivering excellent outcomes for both brokers and customers. There is a fantastic culture within the organisation and a clear ambition for growth.”
Co-founder and Director of Compass Business Finance, Jamie Nelson, added, “Lorna’s appointment represents another significant step in our growth strategy. She brings exceptional operational knowledge, deep industry experience and a proven track record of supporting high-performing teams and delivering outstanding service.”
Nelson concluded, “Over the past few years, we have invested heavily in our people, processes and technology to ensure we are well positioned for sustainable growth. Lorna’s experience and leadership qualities make her an excellent fit for Compass, and we are delighted to welcome her to the business.”
The executive appointment forms part of an ongoing infrastructure strategy at Compass. Over recent years, the independent financier has made targeted investments in digital workflow technology, risk management processes, and specialist personnel to support sustained expansion across both direct commercial accounts and broker-introduced funding channels.
