New CEO for finance company

UDC Finance has announced chief operating officer Don Atkinson has been appointed as its new chief executive and he will take up the role from March 1.
  
Atkinson, pictured, has been with the company for more than 20 years, during which time he has also been its head of lending, head of risk, and general manager of dealer. 

Wayne Percival, UDC’s current chief executive officer, is stepping down after more than seven years in the top job and has been appointed as a non-executive director on the UDC board, effective from June 1. 

Chairman David Morgan says the presence of Percival, pictured below, on the board will allow the company to “continue benefiting from his significant asset finance experience”.
