Founder James Ecclestone said: “We’ve always had the philosophy that if you aren’t moving forward you’re moving backwards, and Aldermore have helped us to keep moving in the right direction.​

“When we look to capitalise on the greater demand for our products during the festive season and look ahead to further expansion, I can’t see myself working with anyone other than Aldermore.”​
