With offices in London, across the UK, and in Cape Town, South Africa, the lender’s U.S. operations will be based in Atlanta, Georgia.

With Kirkland joining the team, Growth Lending will accelerate its expansion across the country.

Most recently, Kirkland was with eCapital’s Asset-Based Lending Group and has previous experience in offering working capital financing, asset-based lending, and receivables financing at ExWorks Capital, Presidential Financial, and Heller Financial.

Speaking about the appointment, Jack Trowbridge, Head of US Sales at Growth Lending, says: “We are thrilled to welcome Keith to the team. His experience and professional network aligns closely with the Growth Lending proposition and with his contribution, we look forward to supporting even more ambitious businesses across the country.”

Keith Kirkland, Senior Vice President of Sales at Growth Lending, says: “I am excited to join Growth Lending and help lead the expansion into the US market. The firm’s lending programs will offer much-needed growth capital for US businesses, as well as present collaboration opportunities with other US lenders to better serve growing companies.”
