The Directors

Rex Tattersall

I live in Bangor-on-Dee with my wife and two children. I worked for the Chartered Trust for 14 years, mainly specializing in Motor Finance. I left to Join Humberclyde in 1995, with whom I worked in the Agricultural industry for 6 years before leaving and setting up my own business in 2001. Rural Finance has given me the scope to expand and deal with several other sectors of business finance. I cover North and Mid Wales, Cheshire and Shropshire. Rex's website

Mike Latham

I live in Worcestershire, and have spent a decade with Barclays Bank Asset Finance. I have been broking now for over 7 years, and I enjoy working with Rural Finance. It's a great team of individuals which gives my broking life a different perspective, as I am able to share idea's and explore new channels of doing business together. I have been covering South Midlands and South Wales for the past 17 years. I do mainly agricultural and all other types of sector asset finance. In my office I have the support of Max Stanley, who has industry experience gained at Benchmark Finance, in Evesham. Together we are able to fully support our customers' financial requirements.

Steve Paxton

I bring over thirty years' experience in the finance industry, the last 17 years of which I specialised in the agricultural sector. I am well known in the area and have over the years built strong working relationships with the local dealer network, banks, finance houses and the farming community. I provide financial solution for all requirements in the East Midlands region with a confidential and professional service. I am born and bred in Derbyshire, and married with two grown up children and a son and daughter. I enjoy most sports and a spot of fly fishing.

Simon Johnson

I am based in the North of England and have a wealth of experience and expertise in all aspects of financing individuals and businesses in the countryside. I have a flexible approach to find the best solution for your business needs. Prior to being an independent finance broker I have worked for the main agricultural finance companies including FAF, Humberclyde and latterly was National Sales Manager for Abbey Business Country Finance. I am married with 3 children and my hobbies include rugby, football and shooting. I will provide the personal approach to all your finance requirements and will be more than happy to help customers old and new. Simon's website

Sandy Russell

I have spent 21 years in the finance industry working for 3 major Finance Houses, mainly in the Agricultural Sector. For the last 7 years I have been an independent broker on the Shropshire Welsh Border. Having empathy with customers has resulted in the building of a large customer following with strong relationships built on trust and loyalty. My top priority is giving a professional service, whilst enjoying the job and having fun.

Mark Wightman

I have been involved in finance for 17 years covering the Cotswolds to the south coast, initially working for Barclays Bank - Highland Finance and then becoming a broker in 1999. I live and work from our small holding in the Cotswolds, so understand the needs and requirements of busy customers and the pressures they can sometimes be under. My aim is to be fast, friendly and efficient for both the client and the dealer alike. With the backing of the 'Rural' team, I look forward to providing the support your business requires.

Andrew Glover

I have been in finance for 19 years. I was with Barclays as Area Manager for 5 years. I then went self-employed with FAF for 5 years. I have been self employed since. I work from home, with one employee, and I am based in Ayrshire (Rabbie Burns country). I cover the West Coast of Scotland. I also own and run a beef / cereal farm which has been in the family for many years, in fact, I'm in the 6th generation. My first-hand experience in farming gives me a good knowledge of farming and all the changes that surround the sector.
