Acquisition by Pivotal Growth of Grange Mortgage and Protection Services

 

LSL announces that Pivotal Growth Limited ("Pivotal Growth") has completed the
acquisition of Grange Mortgage and Protection Services Limited ("Grange").

 

Grange is a specialist new build mortgage and insurance brokerage based in
Northampton and has been providing advice to clients purchasing new build
properties across the UK for over 15 years.

Pivotal Growth was established in April 2021 as a joint venture with Pollen
Street Capital, to "buy and build" a leading national mortgage broker powered
by market leading technology, first class regulatory compliance and exemplary
customer service.

 

The acquisition of Grange follows Pivotal Growth's announcement of its first
acquisition in early December 2021, and the Pivotal Growth management team is
in active discussion with a number of other brokers that it believes would
benefit considerably by being part of Pivotal Growth and we expect to confirm
further deals in the near future.
