Invoice Finance is a key team within the Corporate and Commercial Banking (CCB) division, Santander said.

Horton will be responsible for understanding the needs of the recruitment sector and ensuring the invoice finance facilities the bank offers to recruitment clients are appropriate to help them achieve their goals, a company statement said. “Invoice finance is a growing segment for CCB and last year increased funding to its clients by 50%,” the statement went on to say.

With almost 16 years of experience in invoice finance, working with a number of recruitment companies, Horton will move into this newly created role from his previous position of head of origination for commercial clients in Santander Invoice Finance.
