Funding Circle, the online marketplace where businesses can borrow money directly from people, has revealed the winners of its recent ‘Dinner for Two’ prize draw.

The prize was arranged to celebrate the firm’s second birthday.

Catherine Hodkinson from High Peak Finance in the West Midlands and Warren Palmer from Support Finance in Buckinghamshire have each won a champagne three course dinner for two having completed on a Funding Circle loan during August / September.

Laura McMullen, business development director at Funding Circle, said: “We are delighted to announce our two winners. Sorry to all the unlucky ones who also completed a case, but didn’t win.

“We had a record number of broker loan applications in the three months to September and having lent over £50 million now, our third year is set up to break more records.”
