By GlobalDataAndrew Ribbins, Managing Director of Asset Finance and Group Sales Director at Ultimate Finance said: “Our ambition back in 2010 was to differentiate ourselves from others in the market, by offering excellent service to our brokers and their clients, with quick decision making and payouts a core pillar of our strategy.
“Scaling a loan book itself is hard enough, but doing so whilst maintaining book quality with exceptional service standards is the biggest measure of success. We won’t be resting on our laurels either as we continue to build our business capabilities and I very much look forward to working with our brokers to support their client’s needs.”
Head of Bridging Finance Liam Cavanagh said: “There have been two distinct phases to our Bridging journey since launching in 2015, where initially we sought to find our niche within the bridging finance landscape, through working with a few brokers and growing organically. We learned a lot during this time, both good and challenging! In recent years we have been singularly focused on our core residential offering with a product set to match our ambitions.
“We are delighted to reach the £100m landmark to showcase our strong growth trajectory that has come from having consistent appetite and an emphasis on funding certainty and delivery, even through volatile market conditions. Our approach to curate and expand our network of brokers across the country continues and I’m proud of what we’ve achieved in reaching this significant milestone.”
