Paul McGonigle, managing director of Positive Lending, commented: "I was delighted to receive the award for Best Secured Loans Packager on behalf of the sales and processing teams of Positive Lending.
"Our secured loans packaging proposition has grown significantly for us over the last twelve months thanks to the support of our distribution partners and the dedicated service provided by our team. As a business we are constantly striving to differentiate ourselves from our competition, and this reward shows that the hard work and dedication has been worthwhile for all.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in Positive for their contribution to this award, from our sales team through to our underwriters, compliance and management team. Being part of the Vantage Group our in house marketing, IT support and finance teams all contribute to our fantastic success as well, and I am personally delighted that this award has been won through nominations from our introducing business partners – surely the highest recognition of all, and I thank them for their continued support.
As the market is showing some signs of a struggle due to the credit crunch we as a business has seen this as a catalyst for new distribution partners testing our proposition where others may have failed in the past, and record numbers of new enquiries have allowed us as a business to invest yet again in new members to our team. We will continue to enhance our proposition.
"A full DIP on every enquiry within the hour, and not a computer based DIP “subject to full application”, enhanced marketing products for our introducers and innovative products and procedures to enhance further our service proposition. With new regulation hitting the sector in Spring 2008 it will further enhance the proposition to our brokers and clients with fairer ERC redemption penalties, ensuring that the TCF principles regulated by the FSA are applied across all of our product range, and as a business that is driven on this key principle I am sure that our business will show further development in 2008.”
