Van Cleef reports to Alexandra Paton, Head of Continental Europe - FRS and is based in the Netherlands. He takes up the role with immediate effect.

FRS is launching Multi Buyer Trade Credit (MBTC) in the European and London markets, and van Cleef is responsible for leading the development of this new product in these markets.
