Barclays Partner Finance and Consumer Credit Solutions have today announced that a new long-term contract has been signed.  The contract further consolidates the relationship between the two businesses, which has gone from strength-to-strength over recent years.

The announcement follows a record year for CCS, which saw almost £250million being paid out to its home improvement retailers. The start of 2016 shows no sign of slowing down, with early indications that January may well be the best month in the business’ 16 year history.

Richard Brassey, Head of Retail at Barclays Partner Finance, said: “After another great year for BPF and CCS, I’m delighted to announce we have agreed a new long term contract to continue to offer best in class products and services to the home improvement market. Together with BPF’s evolution of products and CCS’s expert advice and support I look forward to another fantastic year in 2016 and beyond.”

Andy Wallace, Managing Partner at CCS, added: “Renewing our partnership with Barclays Partner Finance allows us to reconfirm our position as the UK’s leading independent provider of finance to the home improvement market.  Working together, we have been able to lead the way in bringing the benefits of promotional finance into the sector and it has enabled us to offer some of the best credit products available.”
