Chris MacManus (MacManus Asset Finance Ltd)

Since 2005 MacManus Asset Finance has operated in the SME market providing asset finance and leasing solutions to firms across the UK.

As experienced finance brokers, MacManus Asset Finance can bring three key advantages to any business seeking finance to acquire, cars, vans, plant & machinery, IT and office equipment, etc:

- independence - with a panel of around 20 of the UK's leading and specialist finance houses we can offer market wide access to finance

- genuine personal attention - you are not numbers to us, but business people who, like ourselves, rely on the skills of trusted professionals in areas of business where we need support.

- experience - 8 years working for the UK's leading asset finance house and now 5 years as a successful independent asset finance brokerage.

Now based in excellent offices in the heart of the City of Cardiff we are well set to be a useful partner to local firms, and busines professionals such as accountants, bank managers and vehicle and equipment suppliers who require additonal access to finance for their clients. 

I began my career in asset finance in 1998 joining the Cardiff offices of Lombard, the UK's leading asset finance house.

After a series of promotions I made the move to Lombard's Thames Valley offices in Reading at the start of 2002, and continued to grow and develop my skills assisting an even wider number of SME clients, in particular in the £1m- £10M turnover sector.

With an urge building to strike out on my own, I returned home to Wales in 2005 and set up MacManus Asset Finance, which has grown an even wider panel of clients and professional contacts.

Despite challenging time in the finance industry in recent years I have been delighted that we have weathered this storm and have always ensured that we have done everything in our power to fight for the fiannce our clients need. 

Now having moved to excellent offices in Dumfries Place, Cardiff I am extremely excited about the challenges and possibilities for growth and expaning our client network in the months and years ahead.
