A core element of Charlton’s role will be to work with broker technology providers to ensure ease of access to Raphaels’ motor finance solutions.

"These will also provide a gateway to widen the network of brokers with whom Raphaels operates," the company writes.

Carl Virgo, head of lending at Raphaels Bank said: "Patrick brings considerable industry knowledge and expertise to this important new role. He understands that brokers need fast decisions based on personalised rather than automated assessments, along with a flexible, high-quality sales orientated service. These are the cornerstones of our proposition and Patrick will play a pivotal role in extending awareness of our offering, supporting our growth ambitions".
