Brightstar Financial was joined by a number of industry figures from the specialist mortgage world at the Sugar Hut nightclub in Essex on Wednesday.

The distributor was celebrating the completion of over £3 billion of specialist mortgage originations.

The celebration took place in Brentwood, close to the serviced office where Rob Jupp, Bradley Moore and Kit Thompson started the business seven and a half years ago.

Jupp, CEO at Brightstar Financial, said: “We started the business with the strapline that we were the leading specialist distributor in the industry. That was a difficult claim to prove given that we had only just opened the doors, but with the help of our great team and the support of some fantastic partners, we can confidently say that we have achieved the goal to which we first aspired. Our mission statement is to continue to lead the sector and set new standards.”

The evening which was sponsored by Bluestone Mortgages, OneSavings Bank, Precise Mortgages and Together Money.

Adrian Moloney, sales director at One Savings Bank, said: “On behalf of everyone at OneSavings Bank, I’d like to send our congratulations to all the team at Brightstar for reaching this incredible milestone. It’s been an amazing journey and one we’ve shared together based on providing positive customer outcomes and quality of service.

“I can’t thank them enough for their support and feedback over the last few years and look forward to continue to work with this leading provider.”

Marc Goldberg, commercial CEO at Together, added: “We are proud to have worked with Brightstar Financial right from the start, to deliver the finance their clients need. In that time, we’ve seen how customer focused the team at Brightstar is and the passion they have for delivering great outcomes for clients.

“We wish them all the best as they celebrate their milestone and look forward to working closely with them in the future.”
