The Lending Channel has been awarded the family firm – ‘Best Key Market Deal of 2015’ at an event held by the Bank of Scotland Business Development Team.

The award comes at a time when the commercial finance broker is also being recognised for its work in the industry by a number of other bodies.

It recently made the final four at the Perthshire Chamber of Commerce’s annual Business Star Awards in the Business Growth category and has been short-listed for the Loan Talk Awards.

Alistair Ewing, director of The Lending Channel, said: “These successes are fantastic endorsements of what our team can achieve in a market that still has very challenging trading conditions.

“The High Street Banks are definitely open for business, but more often now we have to direct SME clients to some of the new challenger banks who offer a much greater degree of flexibility.”

The Perth based commercial finance broker is run by brothers Alistair and Murray Ewing who have grown the business by nearly 500% since their launch in 2010.
