CSF achieves record breaking 2019

Crystal Specialist Finance (CSF) has achieved a record breaking 2019, with a 22.7% increase in terms issued reaching £2.86bn across 91 lenders.

The figure was achieved with an overall increase in applications by 19%, completion numbers up 17%, a 12% rise in completion values and completed deals with 59 lenders.

Staff numbers have increased from 43 at the start of 2019 to 52 at the start of 2020.

Jo Breeden, managing director at CSF, said: “To achieve such substantial growth in what is readily acknowledged as a very tough 12-month period for the finance sector is testament to my excellent team and their desire to always deliver for the broker and their clients.

“Above this our desire to educate intermediaries, both mainstream and specialist, on the myriad of financial solutions for literally every customer requirement has played a hugely significant part in the numbers and will continue to remain front-and-centre of our market proposition.

“Add to this another year of staff growth, involvement and education, closer relationships with our panel lenders, new network partners, multiple award wins and leading marketing initiatives, such as our Crystal Podcast and CPD points webinars, and we are in a wonderful position to accelerate in 2020 and beyond.”
