The interests of our customers are always at our heart and we always like to know how they are getting on. Last year we raised a farm loan for some land for our customers in South Wales. The land finance has clearly been used well and our customers have recently contacted us again about a […]
ANNOUNCEMENT We ask you to note that we are nothing to do with and have no connection with (nor have we ever had) with UK Farm Finance or its successors and nor have we ever done business with them. We are aware that UK Farm Finance was associated with UK Finance and Mortgage Services Limited, which entered […]
One of our competitors has recently changed the term bridging finance to opportunity finance. Presumably, the term opportunity would imply that there is some benefit to the customer. Our competitor appears to be a slick operation – on the day after you call you’ll get a visit and during this visit an assessment of your business […]
There is no doubt that if the News of the World has been doing the things alleged, those involved should have the book thrown at them and the key thrown away. To me, though, it is equally sickening that certain celebrities are jumping on an anti-media band wagon and now acting as if butter would […]
The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee today held interest rates at its record low for the 27th month in a row. Clearly, the committee feels that its priority is the recovery and not inflation. Whilst some people believe that a base rate rise is necessary, it is the case that the current inflation is […]

Land banking companies buy areas of land then sell fragments […]
Only in America you may say but what a delightful story this is. It brings into focus the utter incompetence of the bank in question and warms the cockles of the heart. It also says that when the bank owes you money you should go for it with all guns blazing, because that’s what they would […]
It is a well known fact that there is an urgent need for a watchdog to stop the supermarkets using bullying tactics with their suppliers. Only recently we suggested that the National Farmers Union was expecting the large chains to act reasonably over the ecoli cucumber scare by not forcing prices down on British growers. […]
Would you pay more to avoid E Coli – of course. So the message is clear. Hats of to the National Farmers Union which is shouting the message from the roof tops that British produce is safe and nutritious. The message follows the out break of E Coli in northern Europe. British cucumbers, for example, are World […]
An economic adviser at big cheese accountants Ernst & Young reckons that question marks, over the state of the recovery in the UK, may make it difficult for the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee to consider rate rises soon. Forecasters have suggested that the interest rate will remain at its record low of 0.5 per cent well […]
