Brokerplan Partner Stuart Cruickshank shortlisted for industry award

Stuart, who runs Lochend Finance, has been shortlisted for Sole Trader of the Year by the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB).

One of the most prominent industry bodies in the sector, NACFB’s nomination of Stuart is a “huge honor” for Brokerplan (and Stuart). The finance franchise reacted happily to the news, expressing that the shortlisting was “well deserved by Lochend Finance, who have worked very hard over the past couple of years to establish and develop their brokerage”.

Stuart runs Lochend Finance “from an idyllic location west of Glasgow”. He’s a finance professional with many years of experience under his belt, and he joined the Brokerplan network as a Partner two years ago, in August 2019. According to Brokerplan, Stuart has weathered the pandemic well. The franchise said, “Stuart was one of those who were quick to identify and maximise the opportunity presented by the changing environment created by the COVID pandemic.”

Stuart enjoyed early success, and has continued to build on this in his first two years as a Brokerplan Partner. In fact, Stuart recently completed a “£50k gross commission in under 50 days”. Stuart’s incredible success - and now, his nomination for Sole Trader of the Year - evidences exactly how much franchisees can accomplish with Brokerplan.

Brokerplan expressed, finally, that, “Being able to react positively in challenging times and keeping up to date with the latest products is essential in providing the best client advice, which is exactly what Stuart has achieved. In doing so, he has generated an average £1000 per day for 50 days – a genuine win/win. Congratulations to Stuart and the Lochend Finance team, we are wishing the best of luck to them in the awards!”
