Look at the site, it just looks  : paymetoday.co.uk/I thought the ASA didn't like aspects of the Lendy Wealth site? Yet here we are making the same mistakes again, featuring testimonials from someone for a service that doesn't yet exist. Of course, there is a Pamela at Lendy, so basically they made up a glowing review - they've got previous form for that if those dodgy Trustpilot reviews are anything to go by. It is amazing that one can delude themselves that something is interest free. Perhaps that could be the their next venture: Lendy launches £1,000 interest-free loan for 1 year! *(£100 admin fee applies). What genius. The bigger question is why Kelly has done this, but after reviewing his Linkedin I can only say it seems slightly suspicious. He has removed all trace of Lendy from there, and most of his previous jobs were of big sounding titles at small companies all around the same area. |

The reason why the about us page has now dropped the staff profiles is apparently obvious now: they are leaving Lendy.
Terry Pritchard seems to have joined only at the end of July as 'Head of Origination'. Yet as of September he seems to have joined Kuflink under the same title.
Any other examples?

All very very fishy - Kuflink press release mentions a successful short term consultancy at Lendy. The Lendy press at the time of his joining were certainly not short term. Perhaps they know something we don't, probably didn't like what he saw? Is Paul (marketing & comms) still there?

Copious Capital "is developing and funding a number of new finance brands. Copious Capital’s launch product is Pay Me Today, an antidote to payday lending."
I wonder how much other talant will be poached?
I think there's a hint of their intentions in the domain name. They seem to have left an 'r' out though.

100% speculation - it is possible that some or all Lendy employment contracts include a "probationary period". Very common in sales related roles which is essentially what Terry's role was meant to be.

Disappointing that Mr Kelly has now spent the past 6 months working for PayMeToday. Being such a high flier, maybe he didn't want his CV to be tarnished by the LY brand,
Great figures!

I have just been informed that Paul Riddell, the communications and marketing chief, who was on here as Paul64 has left Lendy in the last few days.
Can somebody please corroborate this information because,if true, there is a worrying trend of sudden departures .

Senior figures leaving the organisation is concerning

Surely this is a good thing given the general impression on here of Lendy's communication and marketing activities!

(LI profile still showing Lendy)

Lendy Support. Like the departure of Tim, given the profile Paul Riddell was given by Lendy, something that probably needs communicating rather than allowing hearsay & rumour. @paul64 (IIRC that's Paul Riddell) was on forum earlier I note.

Hardly surprising if true: the marketing Lendy seem to be doing nowadays is mostly grunts cold-calling people.
As for communications, deleting comments on facebook and trustpilot appear to take up more time than genuinely building a brand.
Even according to Linkedin, it seems that Riddell would have spent more time working on the Cowes week project rather than the job at hand. Now that's gone, he probably has nothing left to do.
A lot of things point to Lendy ceasing trading in the next year or so. Not sure the supposed £1m of Wealth money actually generates any new profit for them.

If they get a decent black box product up and running it will be profitable.
