At a Tenet Lime conference in January, Co-op’s Colin Welby, head of partnership at the Co-operative Bank said the previously troubled bank planned to double intermediary lending this year.

“In 2014 you will see increased lending coming from the Platform brand. Our strategy is to move back into the mainstream market and we’re looking at doubling our business through you guys, which is not insignificant,” he said.
