Jonathan Hall joins with Account Manager Support responsibility. Aged 37, Hall has over 7 years' leasing industry knowledge, including time spent in the motor trade. He will be liaising with dealers and end users in a pivotal sales development role. 

Darren Palmer also joins Kennet as Account Manager, having previously worked as a freelance broker. At 34, he has over 10 years' experience in general asset finance, and along with Hall, possesses valuable motor industry finance experience. 

Chairman Steve Swift said "We are delighted to have both Jonathan and Darren on board. They bring additional and complimentary skills that reinforce our already strong sales force, and are consummate professionals in their field. I am confident that Kennet will continue to grow in the same vein and produce the sort of results that we have enjoyed recently."

The workforce expansion comes on the back of a 44% increase in results compared with the same period last year. 

Swift has not ruled out further appointments as the business continues to grow.
