Meet Our People
John Gribbon – Head of Portfolio Risk
I started my career with a few years in the banking industry with RBS and then Girobank, prior to moving to invoice finance 17 years ago. I originally started in factoring and discounting with LNCS before the RBS takeover.
In that time I have worked as an Relationship Manager, Audit & Survey Manager, led teams of relationship managers, led the sales team in the North for 2 years to record results, moved to leading the Corporate team in the North in the past couple of years working on some substantial corporate names to provide solutions alongside RBS group colleagues for our clients and prospects.
Throughout my career, at RBS IF, I have been lucky to be surrounded by good people and have always looked for new and interesting challenges; working for such a big organisation has presented me with the opportunity to broaden my knowledge and experience.
In 2007 I won an outstanding achievement award at RBS IF in the category of “team oriented” and recently was voted Insider magazines Asset Based Financier of the Year” by the professional community in Yorkshire and North East.
I have recently moved across to the dark side (Credit & Risk), to the position of Head of Portfolio Risk. This involves leading a national team of c160, handling audit and survey, debtor verification, reconciliation, problem debt advisory and recoveries.
