Brightstar Financial has passed £100 million in completions in the eight months since the beginning of the year.

The specialist lending intermediary hub, which was founded three years ago by CEO Rob Jupp, now offers a range of specialist lending from first charge residential, buy-to-let and secured loans to bridging loans and commercial mortgages.

Jupp believes the firm’s success can be attributed to the relationships forged with lenders and those with the intermediary market along with the experience and knowledge of the Brightstar team.

He said: “Not in my wildest dreams did I believe that we would be where we are today. Brightstar has written more business in 2013 then we had done in the previous two years put together. We have been fortunate in our choice of lending partners who have understood the value that we can bring to their businesses and thanks to the breadth of our proposition and the professionalism of the Brightstar team, we have been able to attract major networks and also great support from directly authorised brokers.

“They have seen that we can save them time in research and, due to our close relationships, place cases where they might well have been unsuccessful.

“We have established a great base on which to build and look forward to the next stage in Brightstar’s development.”
