Meet the Team
Chris Martin
Director
I’ve been arranging business finance for almost fifteen years. I founded Origin Finance with a view to creating a personable and transparent experience for UK business owners. I’m a big fan of motorsport and once blagged my way onto the Singapore F1 track and completed a lap on a scooter.

Vicky Barnes
Operations Manager
I joined Origin Finance in April 2021 during a career change & wanted to support a growing, local business with a friendly team. Outside of work I can be found in my studio painting & drawing, or experiencing the outdoors for inspiration for my artwork.

David Cooper
Senior Account Manager
I have over 20 years of sales experience and love dealing with people. I like what Origin stands for and I’m excited to help it grow. I’m a family man so I love spending time with my kids. I love all sports, especially football and for my sins I support Arsenal.

Roderic Siderfin
Account Manager
Having spent most of my career in one form of sales or another, I have settled in quickly at Origin Finance. It is a new and very interesting role for me, working with companies of all shapes and sizes, getting to know them and supporting their quest to find the most competitive funding solutions. Outside of my work I am an avid sports fan and father.

Cameron Turland
Account Manager
Having been in sales for a few years now, I love the unpredictability of what happens day to day. No 2 customers are the same in this job and I take a more consultative approach to sales so that all of my customers know exactly what’s best for them. I am a very keen sportsman – on the weekends you’ll find me on the cricket field or the golf course.

Alex Bolam
Account Manager
I joined Origin in 2025 after getting a taste for finance and brokering while exploring a career change. The best things about working here are supporting people achieving their goals and building long lasting business relationships. I pride myself on knowing my customers well and always bringing a tailored, personal approach to my work. When not dialled in, you can find me on a racetrack burning rubber or rediscovering my love for the piano. The two go hand in hand.

I have recently joined Origin and I’m thoroughly enjoying my new role in this close-knit team. When I’m not working, I love spending time outdoors, whether it’s hiking, cycling, or sailing.

Having launched numerous marketing campaigns for finance companies over the last 10 years, I know the challenges involved with navigating the online world. I am keen to get add value and grow Origins online presence and customer base. In my spare time I love an afternoon tea and days out with my family in the sun.

I’m an eight-year-old Dogue de Bordeaux & love my job in the office. My Dad (Chris) says some of my ideas are ‘paw’ & my design work is a little ‘ruff’, But he’s not the real boss, I am. Bork off & fetch me another bone.
