Complete Commercial Finance (CCF) continues to thrive with the expertise of David Read, who has been an integral part of the team for the past two and a half years since leaving NatWest Bank in June 2022. A seasoned finance professional with a strong track record in commercial lending and asset finance, David’s experience plays a key role in CCF’s ongoing mission to support businesses with tailored financial solutions – particularly those in the logistics and transport sectors.

Supporting Business Growth with Asset Finance

The right financial solutions can make the difference between stagnation and growth for logistics companies. CCF provides a wide range of asset finance services designed to help businesses invest in essential equipment, vehicles, and machinery without the burden of upfront costs. CCF offers tailored funding to keep logistics firms competitive and operationally efficient, from financing new fleet acquisitions to upgrading warehousing facilities.

David Read: A Trusted Finance Expert

David Read brings a wealth of experience to CCF, having spent 36 years with NatWest, the last 20 dedicated to working with the SME community in Suffolk. Port customers formed a large part of his client base, and his deep understanding of the logistics and transport sectors has made him a valuable asset to CCF. He began his banking career at the Felixstowe branch in 1986, including time at Trelawney House, a name many in the industry may remember.

Based in Debenham, David covers all of Suffolk, North Essex, and South Norfolk, though his work is not geographically restricted. He has strong connections to Felixstowe, having lived there for much of his adult life, and his family still resides there. This local knowledge and extensive financial expertise allow David to provide businesses in the logistics sector with the most relevant and effective funding solutions.

With his extensive experience in commercial finance, David has worked closely with businesses to secure funding for expansion, asset acquisition, and cash flow management.

His expertise spans multiple sectors, but his deep-rooted experience with transport, logistics, and supply chain businesses ensures he understands these industries’ unique financial challenges.

Driving Tailored Financial Solutions

CCF takes pride in working as a trusted finance partner, offering bespoke solutions rather than one-size-fits-all lending. With access to a broad panel of lenders, CCF can source the most competitive terms, helping businesses secure funding efficiently and effectively. While asset finance is a key focus, CCF also offers a full suite of financial solutions, including loans and invoice finance, to support businesses in all financial needs.

CCF is a strong team of six finance professionals covering the whole of East Anglia. They have around 200 years of banking experience between them. This collective expertise ensures that clients receive informed, strategic advice tailored to their unique business circumstances.

David’s extensive industry insight and consultative approach continue to reinforce CCF’s dedication to delivering expert financial advice and flexible funding options. His contributions have helped many businesses navigate the complexities of commercial finance, ensuring they receive the best possible support to fuel their growth and success.
