The appointment marks a return to Skipton for Grainger, who previously worked with the business from 2017 to 2021. He brings with him considerable experience in commercial finance, having held senior positions at institutions including Lloyds Banking Group and Praetura Invoice Finance.
Speaking about his return, Grainger said Skipton's 'strong reputation in the market' and plans to enhance its product suite made the decision to come back an easy one.
'I've received such a warm welcome,' he added, 'and it's been great to reconnect with some familiar faces while making new connections. I'm really looking forward to helping even more businesses thrive across the North West.'
Jim Furey, Skipton Business Finance's sales director for the North West and Midlands, welcomed Grainger's return, describing him as 'an invaluable asset' to the business.
'Dan's deep understanding of the SME landscape and impressive business development experience make him a strong fit for our growth plans,' said Furey. 'His client-first approach and extensive network align closely with our ethos of building strong, supportive partnerships.'

Elliott urges new BP chair to tackle operational underperformance
(Reuters) -Elliott Investment Management, one of BP's largest shareholders, on Monday called on the energy giant's new chairman Albert Manifold to "urgently address BP's shortcomings". "Elliott believes the company requires decisive and effective leadership to overcome its chronic operational underperformance," a spokesperson for Elliott told Reuters in an emailed statement. BP has slashed planned renewables spending in a major strategy shift aimed at boosting earnings and investor confidence, while its falling share price has fuelled takeover and break-up speculation. Bloomberg News first reported Elliott's comments earlier on Monday.
