Black & White Bridging (B&W) is approaching half a billion pounds of lending, having completed 750 deals since its launch in 2021.
The latest figure comes after its completions increased year-on-year by 175% and 190% in 2024 and 2025 respectively.
Beyond lending volumes, B&W has also supported the delivery of 1,800 homes across England and Wales through a mix of new-build and repurposing projects across this period.
This growth follows upgrades to the firm’s London and Manchester offices, while simultaneously commencing the build of its new Bristol headquarters.
Chief operating officer at B&W, Damien Druce, stated: "Approaching half a billion of lending in just five years, and delivering over 750 deals in that time, is a huge milestone for us. It reflects the strength of our growth and the trust brokers place in us to deliver.
"Bridging is no longer niche; it’s becoming a core part of the market. As demand increases, the focus has to be on transparency, consistency, and execution.
"We’ve built our model around speed, certainty, and strong relationships, and the investment we’re making in our people and infrastructure, ensures we can continue to deliver at scale. We can’t wait to open the doors at our new HQ."
