Brightstar Financial has just opened its new purpose built offices in Billericay, Essex.

Office space has increased from 800 sq ft to 3,000 sq ft, split over two floors. The new office has been designed with purpose built meeting rooms, conferencing facilities, and a new PCI-compliant call recording phone system.

The firm’s intention is to provide the space to allow controlled expansion of the four specialist lending divisions and the support required to maintain and exceed introducer expectations in the New Year.

Rob Jupp, CEO at Brightstar Financial, said: “2013 has been a watershed year for the industry. I predicted that this would be the turnaround year and the signs for 2014 suggest that it will be an even better period. We have been planning this move for some time in anticipation of a more robust market and the outlook is very positive.

“Access to specialist lending facilities is going to be even more important to intermediaries in 2014. Being able to access dedicated professionals in bridging, secured loans, commercial mortgages and specialist first charge lending under one roof at Brightstar, will be a particular advantage for the adviser sector.”
