Quality Equipment Finance, a subsidiary of the Tom Wood Group, appointed Bob Fanelle to its sales team. Fanelle has more than 20 years of various financial services experience. Most recently, Fanelle specialized in the relationship management arena, where he built third-party originator connections and gained an understanding of small-ticket equipment finance. Fanelle will be working from a remote office in New Jersey.

Fanelle transitioned from law enforcement to equipment finance by way of Canon Financial Services, followed by several years in retail banking.

“Bob is a welcome addition to our team. His decade of experience in the equipment finance space and the relationships he’s built over the years will serve him well here,” Stephanie Hall, CLFP, vice president of sales at Quality, said. “Plus, if you know Bob, you know he’s an all-around great guy who will mesh well with our entire organization.”

“I’ve had the privilege of knowing several people on Quality’s sales team for many years. The company’s industry reputation for integrity and exceptional customer service made the move a no-brainer for me,” Fanelle said.

“It’s important to us, as we grow our business, to add team members who will not only further our success, but also live our core values of being passionately driven, humbly confident, possessing a sincere desire to help others and operating with uncompromising integrity.” G. Paul Fogle, CLFP, managing director of Quality, said. “I’m confident Bob will be a good fit.”
