Sinead Johnson is a former director of Business Development at Lloyds Banking Group, with 17 years of experience in banking. She is passionate about supporting businesses with their funding needs, especially growth, acquisitions, and working capital, which motivated her to become a principal at Growth Lending Group. The group includes accredited providers of the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme, such as BOOST&Co, GapCap, and KX Media, which allows them to work more quickly and have a better understanding of fast-growing businesses in the UK. Growth Lending was founded to offer alternative funding solutions for SMEs who could not find traditional banking support.
