The National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) adds Angela Norman and William Grove as new non-executive directors. Norman, with over 25 years of commercial finance experience, will be the patron lender director, while Grove, with board-level roles at In Partnership and Mortgages for Business, will serve as the finance director.

NACFB CEO Jim Higginbotham praises the appointments, highlighting the expertise and sector understanding that Norman and Grove bring to the table, shaping the association’s future direction.
