ABOUT ORIGIN FINANCE

At Origin Finance, we do things differently. We understand the pressures that business owners face, and believe that sharing knowledge, nurturing creativity and striving to be the best leads to great things. What motivates us is the desire to help hundreds of thousands of hardworking business owners around the UK… people like you.

Our team is made up of commercial finance veterans, each with a glittering background. What matters the most to us is ensuring that our customers get the most suitable finance package to enable them to grow and that their experience with us is second to none.

We want to break the mould of how businesses connect with lenders and change the way that commercial finance is perceived. Perhaps you’re looking to purchase new equipment to increase productivity. Maybe you’re finally turning your passion into your living. Maybe you’re an established business looking to expand.

Whatever your ambitions….

You focus on what you’re good at, we’ll focus on the finance.

Our Mission

To change how business finance is perceived by UK SMEs. Businesses need the support of real people, not computer algorithms.

OUR APPROACH

To educate rather than sell. Whether we do business with a customer or not, we want to leave them in a more knowledgeable position.

OUR PROMISE

To remain true to our core values by helping businesses understand what finance option is available to them in a clear & upfront manner.

CHRIS MARTIN

Director

I’ve been arranging finance for over sixteen years. I founded Origin Finance to create a personable & transparent experience for UK business owners. I’m a big fan of motorsport & once blagged my way onto the Singapore F1 track & completed a lap on a scooter.

VICKY BARNES

Office 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 RANSCOMBE

Account Manager

Having previously worked within the Energy Industry, I am very excited to have joined Origin Finance. I love our unique approach to helping customers and finding solutions for their needs. Outside of the office I can be found running, cycling or in the gym, and much to David’s disdain, I am a keen Spurs fan.

EMILY JOHNSON

Administrator

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.

NALA MARTIN

Barketing Manager

I’m a six-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.
