about us
At Catalyst Asset Finance we go above & beyond for our clients.
Smart, nimble & reliable, we’re consummate professionals with none of the stuffiness of your typical lender. Our clients say we’re approachable & efficient & dealing with us is a pleasure.
You’re in safe hands …
We have a strong track record in this area, providing financing solutions to the broadcast/media, live entertainment & AV sectors since 1998. So, whilst we don’t claim to be technical experts, we have a good understanding of the current & cutting-edge technology your business is using or will be using in the future. As you’d expect, we keep up with all the latest technological developments by visiting major trade shows such as IBC, ISE & Prolight & Sound. If you’re planning on being there too, please let us know & let’s arrange to meet up.
When we work together …
We want to create strong long-term relationships with individuals who see our value as partners & facilitators. So, in our first meeting, we ask questions & learn about your business objectives, so we can understand what you need to help your business grow over time. We’ve built many such relationships over the past two decades thanks to our sector expertise, how we work & our desire to always exceed clients’ expectations.
We know you don’t work conventional hours, so neither do we. You can call us after hours, early in the morning & at weekends & we’ll be here to help you. We know you’re busy, so we’ll make your life easy. We’ll use our experience & expertise to efficiently elicit the necessary information. You’ll only ever need to tell us about your business once.
Applying for Asset Finance, refinance, loans & the like can be tedious & time-consuming, so we’ll work hard on your behalf to find solutions for your business finance challenges so you can get on with doing the work you love.
meet the team
Gavin Scott
Managing Director
I’ve worked in asset finance since 1998, starting in broadcast/media equipment before expanding into live entertainment & AV equipment. I co-founded Azule in 2004, which was sold to PCF Bank in 2018. I continued as Managing Director of Azule until late 2020, when I became Group Sales & Marketing Director responsible for all products in the bank, including Consumer Motor & Business Finance, Property Finance & the Savings team. I was also a member of the PCF Bank ExCo before setting up Catalyst in Dec 2022.
Ramona Culea
Sales Director
I’ve worked alongside Gavin in asset finance since 2014. My resilient can-do attitude has helped me thrive in asset finance, where I worked across administration, collections & recoveries before joining sales & becoming a Key Account Manager. Before joining Azule, I spent seven years working in the HR team at a TV station.
Holley Eastell
Sales Support
I’ve worked in asset finance for six years, having been a core member of the sales support team at Azule. I love working with Ramona and Gavin to support our customers, suppliers and manufacturers. I help them navigate through the challenges of asset finance documentation and advise them about different options and processes at the end of a finance agreement.
