Sales Director Gary Thompson Discusses the Importance of Strong Broker Relationships
Asset Advantage are celebrating the launch of the most recent episode of their podcast: Asset Advantage Out Loud. The latest episode sees new Sales Director Gary Thompson invited into the studio to discuss his strategy for the sales team, and how he is putting broker relationships front and centre of his plans.
Gary Thompson joined the independent asset finance funder Asset Advantage in March 2025, with an intention to strengthen broker relationships and drive growth. Gary Thompson brought with him over 30 years’ of asset finance experience gained in senior roles at Siemens Financial Services, Key Equipment Finance and Bank of Scotland.
In this unique episode Gary Thompson and Philip Knight discuss:
- How our growing sales team is set up to support brokers
- What Asset Advantage is aiming to achieve in the year ahead
- The benefits brokers can expect from working with us
Philip Knight, Credit & Risk Director said, “Our new sales strategy is headed up by industry veteran (in the best possible sense of that word!) Gary Thompson and getting him on the podcast seemed a great way to introduce him to our partners.”
The Asset Advantage Out Loud podcast has been running since March 2024, and is now in season two. The podcast has gained a following among brokers due to the unique insight into underwriters’ discussions.
The latest episode of the podcast, entitled A new Sales Direction, is available to listen to on our Podcasts page.
