Brightstar Group has passed £10bn in specialist lending completions as it marks 15 years in business, unveiling plans for sustained double-digit growth through to 2028.
Founded in 2011, the group has evolved into a multi-brand operation spanning Brightstar Financial, Sirius Finance, Solstar Insurance, The School Fees Company and LaunchPad CRM. It says it has supported more than 50,000 customers since launch, building its reputation on complex case expertise and operational depth.
The anniversary comes alongside another year of double-digit growth, with the business now targeting minimum annual expansion of 20% across 2026, 2027 and 2028. The aim is to reach £20m in annual turnover by the end of 2028.
Internally, the firm reports staff retention of over 90%, with 44% of employees now classified as partners after five or more years’ service and 23% recognised as platinum partners after more than a decade.
AWARD WINNING
The business has secured more than 150 industry awards and holds five-star Trustpilot ratings across its core broking brands, backed by almost 5,000 five-star reviews.
Rob Jupp, chief executive of Brightstar Group, saiys: “15 years of trading in specialist finance is something we’re incredibly proud of.
“We’ve grown through multiple market cycles by staying focused on people, expertise and doing the right thing for brokers and customers.
“We’ve built a group that combines scale with culture, and ambition with responsibility. The platform we have today is strong, the management team is experienced, and there is still significant headroom for growth.
“As we move into the next phase, our focus remains on innovation, data, AI and specialist knowledge, while protecting the service standards and values that have defined Brightstar from day one.”
Looking ahead, the group expects growth to be driven primarily by organic expansion across specialist finance, increased adviser capacity, continued technology investment and further development of its wider portfolio.
