Haydock Finance, which specialises in asset finance, has revealed a strong company culture has played a significant role in its staff retention.

Nearly 25 per cent of the team have been with the company for more than five years, while others’ tenures have reached more than 10.

Debbie Hallam recently celebrated 35 years with the business and is the team’s longest-serving member, having joined from school in 1989 as an administrator.

Having enjoyed several roles during her time at Haydock she progressed within sales support, facilities management and assistant to the executive chairman in 2003 which included HR responsibilities.

Debbie said: “In my long and rewarding career at Haydock, I have had some amazing experiences plus worked with many talented people.

“Thanks to the support I have received throughout my time here I have always felt confident to step out of my comfort zone and take on new challenges.

“The 35 years have certainly flown.”  

With a new executive team in place in 2019, Debbie became HR & Facilities Manager and following significant company growth, she has since been made Head of HR & Facilities.

John Jenkins, chief executive, added: “It sounds corny, but Haydock’s strength is its people, and its people are its strength.

“Building a culture of collaboration and accountability focussed on the customer is what underpins the excellent service we are known for and has allowed us to drive the growth we have enjoyed in recent years.

“Creating an atmosphere where our team want to belong and celebrate these milestones is key.”

Haydock Finance recently announced the successful closing of its second public asset-backed securitisation facility, providing £350 million of additional capacity, reinforcing the company’s strategic focus on growth.

The company has supported the growth of the UK’s small-medium enterprises by providing funding for business-critical assets for over 40 years.
