Compass Appoints Katie Dowse as Finance Specialist for Print Sector
Compass Business Finance is pleased to announce the appointment of Katie Dowse as a Finance Specialist for the print sector. Katie joins the well-established, growing team to provide enhanced support to suppliers and customers within the industry.
With more than 35 years’ experience, Katie joins Compass from Asset Advantage, prior to which she also ran her own general asset finance business for 11 years.
This latest hire follows a wave of new appointments and promotions announced by Compass just weeks ago. All are designed to enhance the business’ offering and to continue to ensure that customers receive the highest levels of service.
Mark Nelson, Director at Compass, which was recently announced as IPIA Associate of the Year, said: “Katie is a fantastic addition to our team. Her extensive expertise and deep understanding of the print sector will be invaluable as we continue to deliver exceptional service and support across all of our business areas, including print, a sector at the heart of our offering.”
Katie has expressed her enthusiasm about joining Compass: “I’m thrilled to be going back to my roots to join Compass Business Finance, a truly entrepreneurial, independent company with an innovative and relational approach to the market. Attending a recent awards ceremony and networking with everyone, reminded of how good it is to be back to my print roots and the joy of human interaction. I have missed the buzz of being part of such a fantastic industry of people.”
In addition to her professional achievements, Katie is an avid badminton player, having played at the same club for over 30 years. She is also a keen walker and proud owner of three dogs.
