After a strong start to the year, which has seen a large increase in the number of active brokers and overall completions for Access 4 Finance, Peter's appointment is the first in a number of new roles planned for the rest of the year as the company looks to expand and take a bigger market share.
Peter has worked in secured loans for many years, starting as an Underwriter with Freedom Finance in 2001, before moving to Brilliant Solutions in 2006.
Access 4 Finance Director, Scott Thorpe, said:
“As a company we have seen a large upturn in business over the last six months, and we anticipate this growth to continue throughout the remainder of this year and into 2016.
"Our introducers choose Access 4 Finance because they know there is always a helpful voice at the end of the phone to talk through tricky cases, using our detailed working knowledge of what ‘outside criteria’ applications are likely to be accepted. When recruiting new staff, we have to be sure they can help us to continue providing this high level of service.
"Adding someone of Peter's industry experience will allow us to continue to provide an excellent service to our introducers, and help us to meet our targets for growth.”
Peter Wilkins commented:
“After a wonderful 8 years at Brilliant Solutions, I am looking forward to a new challenge, helping to support Access 4 Finance with their plans for growth. Regulatory changes mean that more brokers are starting to look at and realise the benefits of second charge loans, and Access 4 Finance are well-placed to help.”
