Platform celebrates second anniversary with a record year for completions

- Lending figures represent a 72% increase on 2003

Platform, the “one-stop” intermediary lender of the Britannia Building Society, ended 2004 on a record high recording its best ever completion figures.

The all status lender, which celebrated its second anniversary this month, saw its figures soar from £1.47bn in 2003 to £2.54bn in 2004, an astounding increase of 72% across the whole of Platform’s ‘one’ product range. The figures are even more impressive since 2002 as completion figures are up by 302% from £633m.

Guy Batchelor, Sales & Marketing Director commented:

“2004 was a really challenging year for us, not only down to the increased levels of new business activity but particularly with the work required for moving into a regulated market place. With outstanding figures like these this makes all the hard work even more rewarding and is testament to all the long hours and effort that our staff have put in to ensure our continued success.”

“We are now looking forward to the year ahead, which will prove to be an exciting one for Platform. We have a number of major projects underway at present including the launch of a new product range which will be happening in a few days and the launch of an online Decision in Principle in the summer.”
