As we reach the halfway point of the year, it's a great moment to reflect on everything we've achieved so far at Touch Financial. We've had a strong and dynamic start to 2025, and have seen a huge variety of businesses seeking cashflow solutions, from new starts to those turning over in excess of £70m. It's really rewarding to find suitable funding facilities and watch these companies thrive with the right finance in place. Corinne Dixon and Neil Fullbrook continue to demonstrate their expertise, commitment, and value every day, playing a crucial role in our ongoing success.
We are also extremely proud to announce that Touch has been awarded a significant contract by Lloyds Bank to support the rehoming of a number of their factoring clients. This partnership reflects the strength of our reputation in the market and our ability to deliver tailored funding solutions with speed, professionalism, and care. It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to expand our reach, support more businesses, and strengthen our relationship with one of the UK’s leading banks.
We’re also proud of the work we’ve done to strengthen our lender panel over the first half of the year. Onboarding new partners and deepening existing relationships has given us an incredibly strong platform to work from. The quality of the deals we’re now placing reflects this progress - well-matched, well-prepared clients and a clear understanding of lender appetite. It’s been especially rewarding to hear direct feedback from lenders, with one recently telling us that our leads were “by far and away the best” they had received this year. That kind of response speaks volumes about the hard work the team is putting in.
Another exciting development was our move to new offices in February. It’s been fantastic to welcome so many of our lending partners into the space - sharing ideas, strengthening relationships, and reinforcing the collaborative spirit that sets Touch apart. We have also recently welcomed Laura into the team who recently returned to the Group from her travels. Welcome Laura!
On a more personal note, I’ll soon be embarking on a new chapter in my career, moving into a Business Development Manager role with a lender later this summer. While it’s bittersweet to leave my position as Brokerage Manager, I’m thrilled to still be working with the Touch team - just from the other side. Thank you all for your support; I hope to continue making a positive contribution to our shared success!
