Commercial IFA firm backs England cricket star after boosting turnover

The Manchester-based IFA firm provides advice on bridging loans, commercial loans and buy-to-let mortgages to high-net-worth business owners, entrepreneurs and corporate businesses. 

Pareto boosted its turnover from £3.4m to £4m over the past year and has total funds under influence of more than £500m. 

The IFA has become the England cricketer’s ‘back-of-the-bat’ sponsor, which will see the Pareto logo feature on Haseeb’s bat throughout the summer. 

Haseeb made his England debut last year when he opened the batting against India and is expected to feature in this summer’s Test series against West Indies and South Africa. 

John Stevenson, managing director and co-founder of Pareto (pictured above, right), felt that Haseeb was the perfect brand ambassador.

“It’s a very exciting time for us. 

“Haseeb’s past has been at Bolton School, which we have links with as the school is also a client of ours. 

“We are looking forward to working with him over the coming months and years, helping him to grow while supporting him along his journey.” 

Haseeb said it meant a lot to him to have the support of Pareto.

“It’s also great to be associated with a local company, as I’m a local lad who is proud to have represented both Lancashire and England at such an early stage in my career. 

“I’m really grateful to Pareto’s John Stevenson and George Chantry for their support.”

George Chantry, co-founder of Pareto, added: “We are very proud to be supporting Haseeb as he is a great role model to young people in Bolton and beyond. 

“Bolton is also an important area to us as a company and we are proud to be associated with a local lad with so much ambition and talent.”
