What a year 2017 has been for Cascade Cash Management. Marking it's fifth year in business the company has grown extensively and here Dr Emma Black, managing director, sums up the year's successes.
“2017 has been an amazing year for Cascade Cash Management. “We have grown our team to eleven strong, and are now an impressive mix of finance experts and those with outstanding people skills.
“Having launched our new and innovative portal earlier this year, we have broken many industry barriers and are now working with people, companies, charities, partners and financial institutes the length and the breadth of the country. Many of them, such as solicitors and IFA’s, white label the product, whilst many work direct with us.
“We have administered over £600 million to date which continues to grow as the confidence in our service solidifies.
“I have been named in the Top 30 Under 30 for 2017, an accolade I am very proud to have achieved but one I know is reflective of the whole team who work with me every single day, dedicated to our ethics and customer service. “Forward Ladies also presented me with the regional award for the best digital company in the North East and Scotland. Again, an award that goes to the whole team. “We will shortly be moving office again, whilst we await works on our long term home Pendower Hall to be complete. We have outgrown our current space, but we will still be based city centre in Newcastle. “We have also opened a London office where I spend time in the city with customers, partners and clients. Having our own space allows for us to operate productively when in London to ensure we get the most out of our time there.
“The company has also found a perfect positioning in the market looking after monies for those deemed vulnerable, providing them with an opportunity to think before making complex investment decisions. Life changes such as divorce and illness, unexpected wealth such as inheritance or a windfall, or those that have court protected funds but want to see their money work for them can all be deemed vulnerable. “The changes in interest rates and in inflation this year has made it an interesting one, but we have thrived through the challenges. 2018 is a year we are very much looking forward to, expanding our offering, our client base and launching exciting new options to work with us.”
