Haydock enjoys record first half

Haydock Finance is now lending more than £260m of asset finance following a record-breaking first half of the year for the Blackburn-based firm.

The new deals follow expansion of the sales and underwriting teams at Hot 100-listed Haydock, as well as the appointments of regional broker managers in the south west and south east.

Andrea O’Brien, head of broker sales, said: “Our continued focus on customer service is driving success for us, our brokers and customers. The new appointments ensure we can maintain our service levels as the business expands and, in appointing regional managers for the first time, we can support and expand relationships locally.”

Future growth is also on the cards. Haydock implemented the first phase of its new technology platform in July, and secured further capacity to grow in a deal with a global bank.

John Jenkins, CEO, added: “To drive growth and deliver strong portfolio management at a time when we have been investing in new processes and technology is a testament to the quality of the team here at Haydock.

"Our new system and funding lines ensure we have ample capacity to continue to deliver our high service proposition through next year and beyond – helping us, our brokers and their customers build, grow and succeed.”
