"We’re pleased with our performance in the half, delivering strong underlying profits supported by increased revenues, a fall in impairments and steady growth in customer deposits despite fierce competition. This has been achieved against a backdrop of difficult economic conditions and a property market which has been at its most subdued in many years. We’re now supporting over 800,000 customers – helping those that the traditional high street banks typically overlook, to ensure they get the support to go for it in life and business."

Steven Cooper, CEO of Aldermore Group
