Loans Warehouse turns 20!!
07 April 2026
Loans Warehouse is today marking its 20th anniversary (6 April 2026), launching a year-long programme of events and initiatives to celebrate two decades since the specialist finance brokerage was established in 2006.
As part of this milestone, the business will also unveiled new branding and a refreshed website, in the coming weeks reflecting its evolution over the past 20 years and its continued commitment to supporting brokers and customers in the specialist lending market.
The anniversary year will bring together colleagues, lenders, and partners from across the intermediary market, recognising the relationships and progress that have shaped both Loans Warehouse and the wider secured lending sector over the past two decades.
A key highlight of the celebrations will be the 20th Anniversary Celebration on 1 May in Watford, where colleagues and friends of the business from across its history will come together to mark the milestone. The event will serve as a focal point for the year, celebrating the journey of the business and the partnerships that have supported its growth since launch.
Over the past two decades, the secured lending market has undergone a significant transformation. Once viewed as a niche and often overlooked segment, second charge mortgages have become an increasingly important part of the adviser toolkit, supported by stronger regulation, improved transparency and greater lender participation. The evolution of the market has enabled brokers to better support customers with complex financial needs, particularly in a changing economic environment.
Loans Warehouse has played a central role in this progression, supporting brokers with access to an extensive panel of lenders while helping to raise awareness and understanding of secured lending solutions. As the market has matured, the business has continued to evolve—embracing new lender entrants, advancing technology and adapting to shifting customer demands—while maintaining a consistent focus on service and intermediary support.
Over the past 20 years, Loans Warehouse has built a strong reputation across the intermediary market, underpinned by consistent recognition for service, innovation, and broker support. The business has won over 100 industry awards, reflecting its long-standing position at the forefront of the second charge sector.
[It is widely regarded as one of the leading brands in second charge broking for service, a reputation built through long-term relationships with brokers, lenders and industry partners. This recognition has been reinforced through sustained success across key industry awards, including what is believed to be the longest winning streak in What Mortgage Awards history, alongside more than 20 Best Broker awards from Financial Reporter across a range of specialist lending categories.
Loans Warehouse has also played a role in supporting the visibility and development of the sector itself. In 2024, the business was instrumental in backing the launch of a dedicated second charge awards with The Intermediary’s National Mortgage Awards – Second Charge, helping to further establish recognition for the specialist lending market within the wider mortgage industry.]*
Alongside its professional achievements, the business has become known for bringing energy and personality to the sector through a range of initiatives and events. From LoanFest, a specialist lending-focused festival concept, to industry-wide challenges including ice bath events and marathon fundraising, Loans Warehouse has consistently engaged the market in more informal and community-driven ways.
These initiatives have also supported charitable causes, most notably raising over £25,000 for New Hope Homeless Charity, with the support of more than 100 industry participants over the years.
Looking ahead, Loans Warehouse believes the next phase of growth in the specialist lending market will be shaped by continued technology advancement and lender innovation, alongside a broader shift in how brokers position secured lending within their advice process.
As affordability pressures persist and product innovation accelerates, second charge mortgages are expected to play an increasingly important role in helping advisers deliver flexible, customer-focused solutions. Faster decisioning, improved system integration and more sophisticated underwriting models are already enhancing the accessibility of secured lending, while new and existing lenders continue to expand criteria and product availability.
Against this backdrop, Loans Warehouse is focused on strengthening its position at the centre of the intermediary market—investing in technology, deepening lender relationships and enhancing the tools available to its broker network. The launch of its new website and branding reflects this direction of travel, with further major announcements planned later this year as the business continues to evolve in line with market opportunity.
“Today marks the start of a very special year for Loans Warehouse as we celebrate 20 years in specialist lending,” said Matt Tristram, Co-Founder of Loans Warehouse. “This milestone is a reflection of the relationships we’ve built across the industry and the trust placed in us by brokers and partners over the years. The launch of our new branding and website is an important step forward for the business, and we’re excited about what comes next as technology and innovation continue to shape our market.”
Further details on anniversary events and initiatives will be announced in the coming months.
