BFS celebrates most successful year to date

Published on

Bridging Finance Solutions (BFS) has ended 2024 as its strongest year to date in terms of expansion and growth.

The short-term lender has reported 30% growth during 2014, while appointing four new BDM’S and starting a £2 million redevelopment of the firms headquarters.

Over the year, the Wirral-based firm has expanded into Scotland, with a head of regional sales appointed to spearhead geographical penetration.

“We have undoubtedly found our niche within a crowded market space and that has been hugely important in terms of our all-round progress”

Steve Barber (pictured), managing director at BFS, said: “This has been an incredible year for BFS and we’ve achieved so much, not simply in terms of financial growth but in terms of our team, our offices, our geographical reach and our broader national exposure.

“We have undoubtedly found our niche within a crowded market space and that has been hugely important in terms of our all-round progress. Focusing on development finance, as well as sub £3m loans, has given us huge impetus with this core client group.

“We have so much to look forward to in 2025 – the completion of our office extension will see us double in capacity, allowing us to grow and evolve in the way we want. Remaining true to our roots has been important and we have reinvested in the local economy of our home town of Wallasey in Wirral. Moving forward, we hope to create more jobs locally and plan to take a further five staff on next year.

“We also remain committed to our chosen charity The Hive, supporting our local community where possible, not only financially but through a hands on approach of our dedicated staff. We have a fantastic team in place with a shared vision and ethos who are all fully invested in the BFS values – the future is incredibly bright for BFS.”
