Fluent Money records business boost for 2014
Bolton-based secured loan broker Fluent Money has announced a strong start to 2014, with the first week of January bringing in more loan enquiries than in any previous year.
The latest figures outstrip those recorded at the same point in 2013 by almost 50 per cent, and follow a year of smashing previous targets for the business.
The new leads now resemble pre-recession levels and provide another boost to the North West economy, as the spike in lending indicates that growth is afoot in the financial, retail and construction sectors.
In order to accommodate the boom, Fluent Money has welcomed new hires Rita Galvin, Matthew Lamb and Stefan Higginson to its sales team and Rebecca Thorpe to the compliance department.
Kevin Hindley, joint managing director of Fluent Money, said: “As the UK economy emerges from recession, the North West has a fantastic opportunity to really drive growth across the board. This rise in consumer optimism looks set to have a ripple effect for businesses across the region, as it leads to growth in house building, retail and various other projects previously limited by recession-based reticence.”
