Tara Evans

Chief Executive

Tara Evans is Chief Executive of Mercantile Trust, where she leads the company’s direction and development. She has more than 24 years’ experience in financial services within Norfolk Capital Group, working across both lender and broker businesses.

Her experience brings together lending operations, business growth and looking after customers. Having worked on both sides of the lending process, Tara keeps customers, brokers and the team at the heart of her work as she helps move the business forward.

Outside work, Tara loves spending time with her family and being a ‘boy mum’. She also enjoys a good catch-up with friends, travelling and any excuse for sushi. Beauty products, stationery and, of course, ducks are particular favourites, and she’ll happily admit that all three have become a bit of an obsession!
