“Aldermore has had a strong year, despite a challenging economic backdrop. With interest rates remaining high over the period, we are pleased to have achieved positive lending growth in a more subdued market, by focusing on higher returning, more specialised segments in which we retain a significant advantage.

While market headwinds have begun to abate, with slowing inflation and the first interest rate cut in four years, we remain focused on ensuring we support our customers following one of the largest increases in the cost of living in a generation.”

Steven Cooper, CEO of Aldermore Group
