MarketInvoice, the Startups 100-featured<\/a> peer-to-peer invoice finance platform, has announced the appointment of Giles Andrews OBE as chairman of the board of directors.<\/p>\n

Andrews founded Startups 100-listed Zopa<\/a>, thought to be the world’s first peer-to-peer lending platform, in 2004 and currently also acts as chairman of Bethnal Green Ventures – an accelerator for social or environmental technology start-ups.<\/p>\n

As well managing the board, Andrews will work alongside MarketInvoice co-founders Anil Stocker and Ilya Kondrashov<\/a> to drive scale as the company looks to broaden its reach by offering a wider range of lending products to a broader set of firms.<\/p>\n

MarketInvoice has funded over £1.1bn against invoices since launch in 2011 and is on target to hit £2bn in 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Andrews commented: “MarketInvoice is transforming the landscape of the business finance industry. I have long been fascinated by their game-changing and innovative attitude. I look forward to working with the team in channelling their drive and ambition.”<\/p>\n

Stocker added: “In preparing the business for the next phase of growth, we are delighted to welcome Andrews as chairman of the board.<\/p>\n

“His expertise in building businesses and extensive experience of the peer-to-peer lending sector will provide just the perspective and guidance MarketInvoice requires to scale new heights.”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
