The company will continue to offer specialist finance packaging and distribution services to advisers across a wide range of product options, including bridging, commercial and BTL finance.

The rebrand was designed to move the firm to its next level of development, after its management team bought back all of the company’s shares in February 2021.

The south Wales-based packager and distributor, led by managing director James Rainbird (pictured above), employs a team of 12, including experienced specialist finance directors, business development and sales managers, advisers and underwriters.

“Since we brought the business back fully into the management team’s hands, we have worked on developing the proposition and offering access to a far wider range of specialist finance products,” said James.

“We are no longer simply a loans business, given that we’re able to offer advisers access to product solutions in spaces, such as second-charge, BTL, bridging, commercial and first-charge — effectively, we can support advisers with clients who have the full range of specialist finance needs.

“The rebrand to Truffle Specialist Finance reflects this broader range of options we have access to and ensures advisers are fully aware that we will dig deep to find the right product solution for their clients’ needs. 

“This is the next stage for the business, but will build on the very strong foundations we had as Pink Pig Loans. 

“Advisers can rest assured that it is business as usual and we will continue to provide the service they have come to expect, with more news to come on how we will continue to expand our offering.”
