Nick Harding steps down as CEO of UK lender Fluro
After a decade at the helm, Nick Harding has announced that he is stepping down as CEO of UK consumer lender Fluro.
Fluro CEO and co-founder Nick Harding steps down
Founded by Harding and Matthew Powell in 2012 and launched two years later, Fluro provides loans to UK consumers through its peer-to-peer lending platform and API-based embedded finance partnerships.
The London-based lender was formerly known as Lending Works until it was acquired by Intriva Capital, a private asset manager, in 2020.
Since its inception, Fluro has maintained a key market position through its advocacy of transparency in lending and claims to have issued more than £250 million in loans. This has been supported through its recent financing partnership with BNP Paribas, which was announced in October 2022.
Harding took to LinkedIn this week to announce that he is “stepping down as CEO and hope to announce my next professional adventure shortly”.
While not divulging the exact catalyst of his decision to depart, Harding’s statement recognises Fluro’s achievements to date, namely “the impact it has had on the embedded lending market and the recognition as one of the UK’s fastest-growing tech companies”.
“I’m perhaps most proud of the amazing team I’ve been lucky enough to lead and the culture we’ve enabled,” Harding continues.
He follows in the footsteps of Fluro co-founder Powell, who left his position as chief financial officer in August, three years after the Intriva Capital takeover, and who went on to found financial modelling start-up ModelPro the following month.
