PRESS RELEASE
Syscap Limited (http://www.syscap.com), one of the UK’s leading independent IT finance providers, has appointed Phil Ross (pictured) as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO).

His previous positions include Head of Vendor Finance at IAF, Managing Director of Bank of Scotland Equipment Finance and Head of the Business Processing Centre at Schroder Leasing Ltd (now Siemens).
“Having worked closely with Syscap since its creation 18 years ago, and having watched it grow and prosper into the industry-leading company it is today, it is a great privilege to now be a part of the team,” says new COO Ross. “Syscap fosters a genuine entrepreneurial spirit, where creative thinking and business acumen go hand in hand, generating a real enthusiasm for innovation and continuous improvement. My early meetings have already helped to identify operational opportunities for the business, which I am looking forward to pursuing in the coming months.”
Philip White, CEO of Syscap, says: “Phil’s track record for continuous improvement, innovation and operational performance is second to none. Naturally, we also welcome his insight – as someone who comes from the funding side of our industry – and I believe this will give us a new and valuable perspective on our current business processes. We are delighted that he has agreed to join us at this time, and I look forward to working with him to make Syscap even better, stronger, and more operationally efficient than ever before.”
