Halo Corporate Finance, one of the UK’s foremost business finance brokers, is marking its 20th anniversary with a celebration of sustained growth, national recognition and continued commitment to client success.
Founded in Horsham in 2005, Halo has grown from a small team into a prominent player in the UK finance brokerage sector. Now employing over 70 staff across offices in Horsham and Northampton, the firm has supported more than 22,000 businesses, arranging £800 million in funding in partnership with a network of more than 130 lenders.
To mark the milestone, directors Luke Hultquist, Stuart Sterling and George Parker hosted a black-tie event at Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club. The evening brought together staff and their partners for a celebration of Halo’s journey to date.
Reflecting on the company’s development, Luke Hultquist said: “Halo is almost unrecognisable from where we started 20 years ago. We now have a talented team of nearly 70, all committed to making Halo one of the largest and fastest-growing finance brokers in the UK. From winning industry awards to supporting charitable causes, I’m genuinely excited about what lies ahead over the next 20 years.”
The firm’s performance has not gone unnoticed. In 2024, Halo was named Cashflow Finance Broker of the Year and received the Service Excellence Award at the Commercial Broker Awards. This year, it has been shortlisted in two categories at the forthcoming NACFB Commercial Broker Awards:
-
Asset & Leasing Finance Broker of the Year (4+ brokers)
-

Stuart Sterling added: “Our growth has been driven by a clear focus on results and building long-term relationships. We’ve developed a strong internal culture that prioritises accountability and commercial insight. Our team understands the funding landscape and delivers real value to the businesses we serve.”
Halo’s offering spans asset finance, car finance, business loans, mortgages and bridging loans, with an emphasis on tailored advice and seamless service.
