AFORTI Group enhancing the team

AFORTI, a dynamically growing Financial Holding, is not slowing down and focuses no only on the implementation of the Business Strategy for the years 2018-2020, but also on HR development. At the beginning of July 2018, Aforti Holding S.A. and Aforti Finance S.A. – the subsidiaries of the AFORTI Group – welcomed new employees: Piotr Klinowski and Tomasz Kaźmierski who took managerial posts in the Group.

Piotr Klinowski became Director Generale at Aforti Holding. He will be in charge of the investment development of the AFORTI Group, both on the domestic and foreign markets. Mr Klinowski has been dealing with the financial industry for more than 20 years. He deepened his professional experience in companies such as: Bank ING, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, and Vestor Brokerage House. Recently he used to work in brokerage houses as a member of the management board and managing director in charge of sales and sale support areas.

At the beginning of July 2018, Aforti Finance was also joined by Tomasz Kaźmierski who became Vice President. Mr Kaźmierski developed his 16-year career by cooperating with the largest financial companies in Poland, such as Deutsche Bank Poland, in which he worked as the Head of Sales Department, and Capital Service, where he served as the Head of Sales Department and
a Member of the Management Board. As Aforti Finance Vice President, Mr Kaźmierski will continue his work in sales and be responsible for an efficient management of the subordinate structure in Poland and other countries where Aforti Finance carries out, or plans to carry out, its operating activities.

At the beginning of April 2018, the AFORTI Group launched a new strategy for the years
2018-2020. Its major aspects are: entry of Aforti Holding into the WSE main trading floor, going public with two companies from AFORTI Group, starting leasing operations, foreign expansion into at least 7 new countries, as well as development of a network of branches and outlets all across Poland. The Group is also focused on a dynamic growth of its HR while hiring subsequent professionals and experts from the field in order to increase its position on the Polish financial market even more.

The AFORTI Group is a financial holding that provides lending, debt collection and factoring services for micro-enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises and manages an online currency exchange platform for companies. In Q1 2018 alone, the Group’s operational profit amounted to PLN 1.33 million. In addition, the net revenue of the Group after Q1 2018 – totalling PLN 99.9 million – is 200% higher than that of the analogous period in the previous year.

These excellent financial results were achieved by AFORTI Group thanks to a constantly growing demand of the SME sector for external financing and professional support in the management of debt collection and factoring processes. Good prospects for the industries in which Aforti Finance, Aforti Exchange, Aforti Collections and Aforti Factor carry out their business activities provide the Group with a high growth potential in the next quarters of 2018.
