A Business Development Manager role with Ignition Credit
Ignition Credit are an award-winning Truro based vehicle and asset financed specialist. We offer working capital solutions and asset finance facilities to aid businesses seeking to invest in new technology, equipment, ease cash pressures, and grow their business.
As a member of the STAR Asset Finance Group, we are able to offer more choice, more flexibility and more value to our customers due to our national scale, whilst retaining the local touch that our customers value so much.
Our goal is to become the most recognised asset finance provider in the UK, by delivering the very best customer service across our group and acting as a partner rather than simply a lender.

We have exciting plans for rapid expansion, which will see an increase of market share in existing regions, as well as the establishment of a stronger presence along the M5 corridor (Devon, Somerset, Avon and Gloucestershire) and across South Wales.
