Meet The Founder, Chris Gladwin

Chris brings over 20 years of experience in the financial sector, including years as a relationship and lending manager for two of the UK’s largest high-street banks. Besides, he has owned and run his own business. That combination provides a unique perspective: a deep understanding of how lenders think combined with truly knowing the realities business owners face every single day.

Chris knows that behind every funding requirement is a person, a family, a team and a vision for what comes next. It’s why relationships sit at the heart of everything we do. He now works with ambitious business owners, supporting them through their growth journeys.

Proud of his Liverpool roots, Chris brings the city’s values of hard work, straight talking and looking after people into every professional relationship. Business is all about people, after all. That belief shapes how we work with every client who comes to us, no matter the size of the deal or the sector they trade in.

 

Away from work, life is just as busy. Chris is a proud husband, dad to two, owner of three cats and part of a tight-knit extended family that includes four grown-up “children” who still keep him on his toes: his parents and in-laws.

What We Do Best

With access to 200+ lenders, we provide a full range of commercial financing solutions to SMEs in the North West and across the UK. We take the time to understand every business and the story behind it, often supporting companies that don’t fit the standard mould most brokers are used to.

Who We Help

We provide financing support to organizations with complex requirements, time-pressured situations and needs outside what a high-street bank will touch. Our funding options are suitable for a wide range of sectors and industries. If your business is ready for its next step, we’re here for you.
