Fluent Money Group has reported a significant increase in personnel, with now over 250 employees based at its Horwich head office, outside Bolton.

The specialist lending distributor, which started in second charge specialist and expanded into specialist first charge mortgages through its Fluent Mortgages Ltd division in 2017, launched Fluent Lifetime Ltd in 2018, advising on equity release and later life lending.

Kevin Hindley, Fluent’s chief executive, said: “We are continually testing our proposition to ensure that it meets the needs of our customers and the proof comes from the consistent satisfaction ratings of our existing partners and the growing number of new partners who have recognised what we can do for them.

“As we have expanded into first charge mortgage and later life lending advice, we have continued to invest in people who can help us to fulfil our commitment to delivering a great service. Our employee numbers now exceed 250 and our expansion is planned to continue.”
