Fluent Money Group has purchased Manchester-based broker and packager Brytannic Extra Finance.

Brytannic – which has history dating back to 1970 – focuses on specialist first charge mortgages and equity release.

All 18 staff members of the broker’s team will now move to Fluent’s head office in Horwich, near Bolton, and Brytannic will be rebranded to operate as Fluent Mortgages Limited.

This will provide Fluent with the platform to offer a range of specialist services to complement its existing second charge proposition. 

Dan Payne, managing director of Brytannic, said it was delighted to be joining the Fluent family. 

“Our skills and specialist lending experience, mixed with Fluent’s presence in the wider national marketplace and their unmatched commitment to service, will create an even more attractive specialist lending proposition for introducers. 

“We are looking forward to taking Fluent’s presence to a whole new level.”

Fluent hopes the acquisition of Brytannic will enable the group to move into other areas without compromising the strength of its core offering or the relationships it has built in the intermediary space.

“We have known Dan Payne and his team for some time and have always been impressed with the way they do business,” added Kevin Hindley, CEO of Fluent Money Group (pictured above).

“They share the same philosophy on customer care as we do and therefore when we were looking to expand the group’s activities, it was a logical choice to talk to Brytannic.
