A Brokerplan partner has been shortlisted for an Industry Award!

Brokerplan are thrilled to announce that one of their Partners has been shortlisted for the Industry Award - ‘Sole Trader of the Year’.

The awards are presented by the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) who are one of the prominent industry bodies in this sector.

This nomination is a huge honor and well deserved by Lochend Finance who have worked very hard over the past couple of years to establish and develop their brokerage.

Stuart Cruickshank, who runs Lochend Finance from an idyllic location west of Glasgow is an experienced finance professional who joined the network in August 2019. Stuart was one of those who were quick to identify and maximise the opportunity presented by the changing environment created by the COVID pandemic.

Building on his early success since joining, Stuart recently completed on £50k gross commission in under 50 days. This demonstrates the value in a working as a proactive broker who drives deals forward using the commercial finance opportunity available through the Brokerplan Academy. The breadth and diversity of the deals, spanning a range of solutions, is evidence of the unparalleled lending panel available to the Brokerplan commercial network.

Many of the loans were part of the government’s CBILS scheme, designed to provide SMEs with financial support during the pandemic. Being able to react positively in challenging times and keeping up to date with the latest products is essential in providing the best client advice which is exactly what Stuart has achieved. In doing so, he has generated an average £1000 per day for 50 days – a genuine win/win.

Congratulations to Stuart and the Lochend Finance team, we are wishing the best of luck to them in the awards!
