Finance Connect Podcast: Simon Everidge

Richard and Simon explore the evolution of Rigby Capital, its approach to technology finance and how a combination of strong partnerships, culture and continuous improvement has supported the company's growth.

Drawing on more than eight years at Rigby Capital, as well as previous experience with GE Capital, Dell Financial Services and Unipart, Simon reflects on how his varied career has shaped his approach to leadership.

A key theme of the conversation is the importance of culture. Simon explains how Rigby Capital has focused not only on what the business does, but how it does it, by creating an organisation centred around its people, values and long-term relationships.

Looking to the future, Simon discusses further opportunities for Rigby Capital, including the “white space” of customers who traditionally pay cash or use existing banking facilities, as well as the potential of new funding solutions and greater use of automation and AI. He also touches on Rigby Capital’s international expansion opportunities, including developments in France, Spain and the UAE.

For equipment finance leaders, the episode provides an insight into how Rigby Capital has developed its business and why Simon believes culture, collaboration and incremental improvement can be just as important to sustainable growth as strategy itself.
