This time last year Victor Finance was getting ready to announce its new acquisition, East Yorkshire Asset Finance. This year, the team is truly proud to announce that Victor Finance has hit an incredible milestone – surpassing the £1billion lending threshold.
“It’s hard to compute breaking through £1billion in funding,” says Stuart Williams, Director at Victor Finance. “It’s such a large number and genuinely a great achievement for a small business like ours to have accomplished.
“We’ve never taken the time to quantify our lending in this way, the successes we’ve experienced as a team have always just been a result of ‘doing what we do’. They’re a result of the work we live and breathe every day, based on the principles the company was founded on. To reach this milestone, for us, means that the team has been able to help thousands of customers achieve their goals since 1985. What a fantastic thing to be able to celebrate.”
As a family-owned business, founded by John Williams back in 1985, Victor Finance started life as a brokerage company to support local businesses, mainly operating in the road and transport network. Today, it has grown into one of the leading independent asset finance brokers in the UK, a factor that without a doubt can be attributed to customer referrals.
“Looking after customers has been the key to our success,” Stuart continued. “Initially serving customers based in Grimsby and Immingham, our reach may well have expanded over the years but our dedication to upholding our founding values hasn’t wavered.”
With a personable approach to customer service that cannot be underestimated, as well as the business’s push to introduce unique services such as its own leading book – a move which saw Victor Finance open the door to referrals from other sectors and geographical areas – the award-winning Brigg-based firm now works across all areas of the UK within a wide variety of industry.
Lauren McQuilken, Business Development Manager at Asset Finance, United Trust Bank added: “Victor Finance is a long-standing and key introducer of asset finance to United Trust Bank. Victor Finance is a pleasure to work with; they are consistently professional and ensure their customers are always at the forefront of what they do – we are thrilled to see them mark the £1billion lending threshold.
“The Victor Finance team is leading the charge within the industry in supporting SMEs, not only in their local area but UK-wide. United Trust Bank has been fortunate enough to witness this business’s growth and continued success throughout the years. With a team of aspiring individuals and leaders, we are nothing but excited about what the future holds for Victor Finance.”
