SKM Asset Finance was formed in 1997 by Steve and Jackie Moody with the intention of setting up an asset finance brokerage specialising in the construction industry. The company has recently joined the CEA Membership.
Mr Moody had previously spent 10 years with JCB Credit, and three years with Construction Equipment Finance – so starting up their own finance business seemed like the perfect progression. Mrs Moody’s past experience was with Barclays Mercantile, Construction Equipment Finance and De-Lage-Landen.
The company, based in Ringwood Hampshire, has been providing asset finance solutions to the Construction Industry for almost 20-years. With over 35 finance companies on their panel the company is able to achieve high approval rates of over 98% for Sole Traders, Partnerships, Limited Companies and PLCs through their national team of home based introducers.
Mr Moody commented “Having exhibited at SED and Hillhead over the years along with PLANTWORX 2015, we have booked our stand for PLANTWORX 2017. Jackie and I thought that now was an appropriate time to apply for permission to become an associate member of the CEA. Having identified that this was a way we could continue to demonstrate support to the sector and its members.
Mr Moody continued, “Hopefully we will be able to offer our services to the members who have asset finance requirements whether that is for themselves or their customers. We were delighted to receive approval at the beginning of September 2016.”
Mrs Moody added, “We use the latest technology from a market leading mobile finance App to an online proposal system to ensure that our customers, dealers and manufacturer partners get equipment delivered in a time efficient manner.”
