Rania is passionate about our brokers and people. I am excited to see Rania and her team develop and enhance our Broker experience.” Established in 2009, Aldermore is best known for its range of financing solutions aimed at UK small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), although it has also branched into mortgage finance and consumer online savings accounts since its formation.
