Top accolade for Britannia Group Intermediary Lender in the
'Mortgage Advisor & Home Buyer Magazine' Awards
- Platform recognised as Best Intermediary Lender
Britannia Building Society’s dedicated "one-stop"
intermediary lender, Platform, has scooped the accolade of Best
Intermediary Lender in the Home Buyer & Mortgage Advisor
Awards.
The award, in recognition of Platform’s consistently excellent
service to the intermediary market, was voted for independently by
a panel of respected industry figures on behalf of the consumer
magazine, Mortgage Advisor & Home Buyer magazine.
Platform was acquired by the Britannia Group in 2001 and was
launched in February 2003 as the Group’s dedicated intermediary
lender. Through its comprehensive ‘one’ product range, Platform
caters specifically for the intermediary market offering products
such as Buy-to-Let, Self-Certification, Prime and Non-Conforming
mortgages.
Since launch, Platform has experienced tremendous growth,
increasing its staff head count from approximately 90 to 250 and
establishing itself as one of the leading buy-to-let lenders in the
market. Year to date, Platform has delivered profits consistently
ahead of targets and completions are in line to smash the £2.5bn
target for 2004.
Guy Batchelor, Sales & Marketing Director commented:
"We are delighted to have won this award which is a real credit
to everyone associated with Platform. We continue to make real
strides into the intermediary mortgage market, striving to create
the very best products for our ‘one’ product range, delivered by a
dedicated customer service team. We are now looking forward to the
final quarter of the year and exceeding our expectations for
2004."
