EC reveals commercial proposition

Exclusive is to introduce a commercial desk to provide advice and recommendations to its packager members.

It will be based on a select panel of lenders, which will grow once the needs of Exclusive's members and their clients have been assessed.

The association's aim is to provide a whole of market service to reflect the full range of its business customers’ requirements.

Matthew Arena, managing director of Exclusive Connections said: “We have had commercial lenders on our main lender panel for some time but this is new move is a significant step forward for Exclusive Connections, driven by the changing marketplace and the growing interest in alternative sources of business by our members and their introducers.

"We now have a specialist facility in place which will help members with enquiries and guide them through the nuances of the commercial market so that they are confident in the help they can give their introducers.”
