STOKE-ON-TRENT, UK, June 9th 2026 – Jigsaw Finance, based in Stoke-on-Trent, has delivered a 414% increase in lending activity since it was acquired in 2023 by co-owners Alex Hurst and James Weir, reflecting a period of sustained business expansion.
The company attributes this performance to ongoing investment in its technology and operations, alongside the growth of its dealer partnerships and lender panel.
Momentum has remained strong into 2026, with average monthly lending rising 116% year on year. Every month in the first quarter set a new internal lending benchmark.
Over the same period, the business has expanded its workforce by 44 employees as part of its scaling strategy.
This growth has reinforced Jigsaw Finance’s position as a nationwide motor finance broker and led to recognition in The Sunday Times 100, which ranks Britain’s fastest-growing private companies. The business placed 69th nationally and 4th among the fastest-growing companies in the West Midlands for 2026.
A major focus of investment has been the continued development of Artis, Jigsaw Finance’s proprietary technology platform.
The system enables dealerships to connect customers with a wide panel of lenders, streamlining vehicle finance applications and improving access to suitable finance options.
Alex Hurst, co-owner at Jigsaw Finance, commented: “Our growth has come from staying focused on the core areas that matter. We have invested in technology, strengthened our relationships with dealers and lenders, and built the operational capacity required to scale.
“Being included in the Sunday Times Top 100 reflects the effort and progress made by the team over recent years. It is an important milestone, but our focus remains on continuing to build momentum.”
James Weir, co-owner at Jigsaw Finance, added: “The motor finance sector has faced challenges, but we have concentrated on what we can control.
“Unlike many brokers who rely on third-party platforms, we have committed significant investment to our own technology and supporting infrastructure.
“That approach has helped us increase lending volumes while also improving efficiency for dealers and customers.
“Artis gives us greater visibility and control across the dealer and customer journey, allowing faster processing, better approval outcomes, and stronger support for our dealer network at scale.
“We see considerable opportunity ahead and will continue investing in technology, people, and operations to strengthen our market position.”
