Sam Norris, MD at Grand Union Finance, said: “When I first met Anastasia [Ttofis, co-founder of iLA] and Luke [Baldwin, co-founder of iLA], it was clear that not only do they have a fantastic, innovative and unique service that our clients would greatly benefit from, but our morals and work ethics also align perfectly. 

“I am genuinely thrilled to be working more closely with them moving forward and seeing the positive benefits to our clients’ finance applications.”

Anastasia added: “Sam has been so supportive of us personally since the day I met him, and is always looking for ways to genuinely add more value for his clients and make the process as seamless as possible for them — whether that is through partnerships with other key service providers in the industry or the incredible knowledge he shares on his social media platforms every day.

“Our relationship with Grand Union Finance has grown from strength to strength, and I'm so pleased to have now set up an official partnership with them.”
