Close Brothers launches Broker Solutions division

Close Brothers has formally launched its Close Brothers Broker Solutions division with the specific aim of simplifying the funder’s market-leading Broker offering and providing a single point of reference for Brokers.

The new division has brought together – under a simplified proposition – the offerings previously provided by:

Close Brothers Business Finance
Specialist Finance
Braemar Finance’s broker team
Corporate Asset Solutions

Existing Broker partners will continue to deal with their named contact and are welcome to enquire about our full range of products and services, ranging from Hire Purchase and Refinance to Stocking Finance and Block Discounting.

To support the launch, a new website and LinkedIn page have been created.

Richard Cameron, Managing Director of Close Brothers Brokers Solutions, said: “Since our initial announcement in April of this year, we’ve been working incredibly hard to structure the teams in such a way that we provide the best possible service to our Broker partners.

“Bringing all our capabilities together under one roof to create a ‘one-stop-shop’ for Brokers required careful planning but we’re confident we’ve done all the required groundwork that will mean Brokers are presented with a straightforward proposition of what it means to work with us.

“We’ve spent many years building a world-class Broker offering along with an extremely talented and passionate team that covers a wide range of lending capabilities, from specialist cars and sports funding to business-critical assets. This is something we are particularly proud of.

“The next few years promise to be exciting ones and I’m genuinely looking forward to the team playing a key role in our continued growth and success.”

Matt Roper, CEO of Close Brothers’ Commercial business:“I have very high hopes for Broker Solutions – they’re a high performing team that has been brought together into a strong, cohesive unit.

“We chose to act on the feedback and advice of our Broker partners who felt there would be benefits to having a consolidated proposition with all related information in one place.

“Our ability to adapt to market requirements and stakeholder needs has ensured our success over the years and is another example of why it’s crucial to always work closely with your partners and customers.”
