Premium funder Arteva Funding says Sue McNeill has taken up the newly created role of Head of Sales Southern Region with immediate effect, reporting to Chief Commercial Director Bob Dodd.

Arteva was formed in a merger early last year between established players Premium Funding and Principal Finance.

Ms McNeill, who was previously the regional sales manager Victoria/Tasmania for BOQ Finance, will lead the sales teams in Victoria, Tasmania, SA and WA.

In addition to supporting her team and driving key accounts, she will also be a dedicated relationship manager for Arteva’s existing partners operating in her local market.

Arteva has also appointed Nichole Hastie as Head of Sales Northern Region. She will lead the sales teams in NSW, ACT, Queensland and NT. She joined Arteva early this year as Senior Manager Key Accounts.
