The week that was the 2nd November...

Activities – Week 45 (2nd Nov – 8th Nov 2021)

Phew we certainly smashed it this week! With England thrashing both Albania and San Marino five and ten nil respectively and Harry Kane completing a record breaking two hat tricks within 5 days! And with momentum now gaining on the vaccine booster roll-out we can hopefully also continue in winning the war against covid.

Moving on to the world of showbiz and as those red carpet roll-outs continue coming fast and furious as the celeb world continues to make up for lost time, it was the fabulous Lady Gaga’s turn to razzle dazzle ‘em at the London Premiere of her “House of Gucci” Film.

And talking of razzle dazzle, Week 45 was an absolute belter, positively scorchio in fact ️ . As you tucked away a Nathanesque & jumbo sized 134 cases for over 44 million of lending .

It's clear that the Conference-goers amongst you decided to rack up the cases in good time so as to rightly avoid any hassles whilst away !? ️️

Top of the charts was Chris Taylor who completed a red hot £3,279,570 of lending across 7 cases, and Chris was followed by Phil Lyle who completed £2,964,875 across 3 cases, one of which won him the Week 45 “Big Time Barry” Award for his £1,769,626 deal with NatWest Bank.

Then in third place was Nick Harris, who consolidated his YTD No 2 position behind Simon Holdsworth with an astonishing 10 cases for £2,634,228 of lending.

Meanwhile over in the Fens there was clearly a heightened sense of urgency with Ricki , Zak , and Warren nailing 21 cases between them ! And other high hitters this week in terms of case volume and value included Mike Atkinson, Ron Walton, Dominic Willett, , Sarah Norman, James Newton, Simon Holdsworth, Mark Nathan, Alex Cast, Ian Broadrick, Colette Hall, Tom Sibley, Sandy Mcilvenna and, Paul Varney.

On the lender side, you completed the greatest number of deals this week with Santander totalling 17 for £5,081,578 of lending.

Protection – Week 45

On the Life side , the Gaffer paid another visit to not so sunny Swansea where once again Nick Price & Sophie Evans were tearing it up in Aaron Ramsey style. CFF Life have had a phenomenal year and several of you will shortly get to meet Sophie herself.

Overall this week you completed 25 protection deals of which Nick completed 7 and Lee (Rum and coke please) Power, 5.

Lee also secured the top two highest policy amounts with his 2 x £403,750 deals with L&G. On the provider side meanwhile, you completed the greatest number of cases this week with L&G totalling 11.
