Chaseblue expands underwriting capacity

Published on

South Wales based specialist finance broker Chaseblue Loans has signed terms on an extension to its current offices increasing seating capacity from 22 to 60.

Chaseblue Loans is an associate business of Y3S Group.

With work completed, the firm has immediately added to its staff with the addition of experienced underwriter Kath Cousins who has 18 years of experience in second charge loans working firstly at First Plus Financial and then Nemo Personal Finance, both in Cardiff.
In addition, three other team members, Shannon Ryan, Geoff Hardwick-Brice and Eleanor Bradbury have been employed on the new business team where they will train to become CeMap qualified over the coming year.

Ben Gillespie, Chaseblue’s managing director, said: “This is a very exciting period of growth for Chaseblue Loans: just two years ago we were a small team of seven in a tiny underground office with no windows. Today we have a staff of 23 and by the end of the year we will have around 35 people, with capacity for up to 60 in our newly expanded office space which should see us through for at least a couple of years.”
