Brown has 25 years of experience in the commercial finance sector, having been regional director of business for NatWest, where he oversaw the Midlands region.
He has also been the senior lending manager, responsible for commercial lending applications, as well as the senior director of Midlands business banking for the bank.
His appointment will leverage access to over 200 market-leading lenders. In his role, Brown will strengthen Cornerstone Commercial Finance’s presence in the Midlands and offer firms commercial lending solutions, joining John Maude, head of commercial for the Midlands, and Richard Sheard, senior commercial manager and RI.

“Bringing Steve on board bolsters our hugely experienced Midlands team and means we can bring our breadth of commercial lending solutions to even more businesses across the region.”
