**NEW FEATURE COMING SOON** We are constantly looking for ways to streamline the sales to underwriting process for lenders. We are already saving lenders >75% of the time it takes when assessing businesses for lending products. Our latest feature further streamlines that process by automatically searching key people associated to a business through various registers. This is a process currently being done MANUALLY by every lender we interviewed. A process which takes, on average, 45 minutes to complete. With our latest feature we reduce this to 2 minutes. If you are interested in learning more about how our Spark AI reports are changing lending, please register your interest through the link in the post.

🐎 The Lloyds Bank black horse. A symbol of stability or has it galloped off-course? Lloyds Bank’s recent brand refresh has flipped its iconic black horse from a backward 'regardant' stance to a more aggressive, forward-facing one. While some see this as a bold move reflecting progress, dynamism and forward-thinking, I personally think it makes the horse look a little out-of-control. Not a great visual metaphor for a bank that had to be bailed out by the public to the tune of £20bn a decade ago 🙄 . Shouldn’t a bank’s branding convey stability rather than unpredictability? Go I guess a question I'd like to put to my fellow creatives is this. Is this a smart evolution to modernise a legacy brand, or does it risk alienating those who valued the horse’s original, calmer stance as a symbol of reassurance? Has the horse galloped a little too far off-course? Drop your thoughts below and let’s chat about the power of branding in times of change! 👇 #Branding #LloydsBank #CreativeDirection #DesignMatters #MoochCreative

Great news from Lloyds Banking Group's Business Barometer: July has seen a sharp rise in business confidence, hitting the highest level in eight years! This boost is thanks to better trading prospects and a wave of economic optimism. A solid 62% of businesses reported stronger activity, up from 53% in June, while 62% also felt more positive about the economy. Employment expectations are on the rise too, with 53% planning to expand their workforce, though wage growth expectations are still mixed. Retail is shining particularly bright, with confidence soaring 25 points to 60%, marking a post-pandemic high. Manufacturing, services, and construction sectors are also experiencing gains. Mark Johnson, Director of Johnson Reed, shared his excitement: “It’s fantastic to see prosperity so soon after last month’s General Election. Here at JR, we’re already witnessing businesses eager to invest in their futures.”
