Finance Wales provides growth capital for micro to medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in the UK and financial administration services to the Welsh Government. Led by Chair Gareth Bullock (Non-Executive Director / Senior Advisor at organisations including Informa PLC, Tesco Bank and the Good Governance Group (G3), as well as former Board Member of Standard Chartered PLC), Finance Wales wished to appoint a Non-Executive Director with private equity experience and later posted a second role for an Audit Chair.
