Enterprise Finance has entered into a partnership with the national estate agency chain, Connells.

The specialist loans distributor will become the provider of secured loans to Connells’ brokers, of which there are currently more than 400 located in the company’s branches around the UK.

Connells is the latest company to enter into an arrangement with Enterprise Finance, joining the likes of Openwork, Intrinsic, First Complete and the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers.

Harry Landy, sales director of Enterprise Finance, said: “We are thrilled that a business as well respected as Connells has chosen Enterprise Finance to be its provider of secured loans. The entire Enterprise team will do everything we can to provide a professional and seamless service to Connells’ brokers from day one.

“Secured loans are set to be a major growth area in 2013 and our focus is to ensure that the rising demand for these products among Connells’ clients is met.”

Adrian Scott, group mortgage services director at Connells, added: “We selected Enterprise Finance because they have an exceptional track record in servicing large corporate broker networks. As well as being robust, they are a very progressive company and we have no doubt that they will find ways to add value to the partnership over time.

“This is an exciting beginning to 2013 and we are confident working with Enterprise will be a success.”
