Financial Reporter provides the latest industry news to the UK financial services market.
About us
Founded in August 2009, Financial Reporter is an online news service for the UK financial services industry, reaching over 30,000 industry individuals every day through our website and daily newsletters. Our readers are a mixture of brokers, financial advisers, lenders and other financial intermediaries from across all sectors of the financial services industry including; mortgages, loans, debt & insolvency, insurance, bridging & commercial, business, economy, regulation, technology, equity release & pensions, investments, and conveyancing and surveying. We know our readers want to form (and often share) their own opinions, so we simply report the news and let them do just that. We're unbiased, in everything from our reporting to the way our Awards programme operates. Our readers are the experts and part of Financial Reporter's ethos has always been to bring them the facts and nothing else. We send out daily newsletters to make sure our readers are kept informed of all the latest developments in the industry, and we try and engage in discussion across a range of social media platforms – we are passionate about educating brokers and encouraging debate. To this end, we also host a number of educational webinars as well as broker roadshows around the UK where intermediaries can sit face-to-face with leading lenders and service providers, earn CPD hours, and network. Financial Reporter also holds an annual Industry Awards programme, which has become a benchmark within the industry and continues to grow each year – with no judges or panels it's really up to the industry to decide who wins, and that means our rewards are looked upon by many as a reliable stamp of approval. Our editor Rozi Jones, an English Language graduate from the University of Manchester, has several years' experience working as a journalist and joined the Financial Reporter team in 2014. Rozi is an excellent baker, keeping the office well-fed with her homemade treats, and a keen Evertonian.
