A growing panel and specialist team
Sorbus now describes its lender relationships as an extensive panel of 150+ lenders. It remains a brokerage, not a lender, and the panel does not represent the entire UK lending market.
The team’s areas of focus include fleet and mobility, prestigious assets, and construction and engineering. The company’s information platform and online resources extend its educational work alongside broker support.
