CG Capital reaches new heights in the Ports market
CG Capital Ltd, the London based leasing and finance arranger for the shipping, intermodal and transport industries; is extending its financing reach into the Ports market. The company is developing a new division to be known as CG Port Finance which will be driven forward by newly appointed Clive Sanderson.

CG Capital sees the ports sector as a complementary area to the container market; therefore allowing extension to their existing client base. The company financed over $120 million in the container market during their first year of business in 2004. CG Capital is now looking to repeat their success within the ports sector through their specialist division CG Port Finance.

Rob Hawking, Marketing Director at CG capital explains, “It makes sense for us to move into the Ports sector; firstly there are synergies with some of our existing clients in the container market and secondly, many of the customers will be good, new credits looking for finance.”

Clive Sanderson has joined CG Capital as Vice President of ‘CG Port Finance’ to head up the business globally. Clive comes with 20 years plus experience in senior management roles within the port equipment manufacturers market and has been mainly involved in securing international business opportunities.

Prior to joining CG Capital, Clive worked for a number of recognised Port handling equipment manufacturers such as Fantuzzi-Reggiane, Kalmar LMV (UK) Ltd, as well as the US based Taylor Machine Works International, Inc. Clive has also worked in the construction industry for Volvo BM Construction.

Clive states “It’s a privilege to be joining such a dynamic organisation. I’m looking forward to setting up, expanding and developing the port business for CG Capital. My experience in the industry will certainly help us achieve our objectives”.

Rob adds, “We are extremely pleased that Clive is coming on board to build this business; these are exciting times for CG Capital”.
