Oracle Finance, founded in 2006 by Peter Brook and Andy King, has been named Broker of the Year by Alphera Financial Services.

The company, which employs nearly 30 people, has 40,000 clients on its books, ranging from sole traders and captains of industry to Premier League footballers and retirees and currently underwrites some £250 million per annum.

Mr Brook said: “We have worked closely with Alphera for a number of years now and are thrilled they have named us as their Broker of the Year for 2013. It is highly coveted in the industry and a superb accolade for us.

“Two years ago we opened a London office to accommodate a growing number of southern-based clients. Over the next three years, we are aiming to expand the business considerably in terms of deals underwritten and staff we employ.”
