Joining as a Patron reflects our commitment to supporting brokers who are helping drive the growth of the UK economy through their support of SMEs, providing the financing businesses need to invest and expand. It also reinforces our focus on helping brokers deliver the highest levels of professionalism and client service, and on building a more cohesive and supportive industry that benefits clients, intermediaries and lenders alike.”
