It is always a good week, and this year we hope it will be extra-special. I bow to your knowledge of Cowes week. I've never attended but have high hopes that my Lendy holding will grant me VIP status should I make it to the isle this year!

And the interest to pay the cost of getting there via the most expensive stretch of water in the world.* Fortunately Lendy is the most profitable platform in the Universe so there will be no problem covering lender expenses.  * untrue (£10 from Southampton, super off peak)

Better brush up on my Spanish and Portuguese  I think 'DOH!' is still 'DOH!' in any language Actually, in Germany D'oh is dubbed as Nein, Spanish is Ou, and French is t'oh. I think Sakra in Czech Republic. In Japan, it is shimatta-baka-ni www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCcYRJTHj2g

Despite raspberries blown already in other thread(s), this looks to me (with my old Marketing Director hat on) like a very well-targeted investment in building name recognition and brand awareness, with all sorts of opportunities for year-round PR activity too, given Lendy's local connection. Cowes Week generates huge exposure in the yachting world (globally, not just UK-wide) and you only have to look at other recent financial services title sponsors (Skandia, Aberdeen Asset Mgmt) to understand the demographic attraction, spanning both borrowers and lenders. Cowes struggled to sign up a sponsor at all last year, eventually persuading Aberdeen to continue for a further year. Given this is a "last minute" announcement by the organisers in terms of the 2017 regatta, I suspect Lendy managed to negotiate a very good price for the certainty of a 3 year deal! Question is, Paul64 , will there be fireworks this year and will there be a Lendy marquee / boat to watch them from?! Fireworks, yes!

More news on Lendy Cowes Week, raising the profile of Saving Stream (Lendy);
New Cowes Week title sponsor Lendy gives support to famous fireworks
www.sail-world.com/Australia/New-Cowes-Week-title-sponsor-Lendy-gives-support-to-famous-fireworks/154890?source=rss
I C&P these two paragraphs from the above article;
"Cowes Week Ltd is delighted that this year’s fireworks finale – to be named Lendy Cowes Week Fireworks – will go ahead, after months of speculation about its future. For some months it has been unclear whether the renowned display, that is appreciated by locals, competitors and spectators alike, would go ahead. The recently-announced new Title Sponsor, Lendy – The Property Platform, was very keen to preserve this iconic finale to the regatta and has generously pledged support to secure this year’s display."
Commenting on what to expect of this year’s fireworks display, Kate Johnson, Commercial and Marketing Director at CWL said: “We’re thrilled that Lendy has not only committed to an initial three year title sponsorship of Cowes Week but also that the peer-to-peer investment company has agreed to be the primary supporter of this year’s display. Those watching the fireworks display this year may notice a predominant blue theme, as a thank you to Lendy, who use blue as their prime brand colour.”

With such an emphasis on publicity at this prestigious (and money rich) event, surely Lendy could revisit the boatyloan concept, not that I will invest when the boat pictures they provide are not of the actual security.

Does this mean that you will be going to Lendy Cowes Week, to offer Saving Stream (Lendy) your advice, on the ' boatyloan concept'?

Wasn't quite sure where to put this as I didn't want to start a new thread for it, and I do hope I'm not repeating something already mentioned, but this relates to advertising so.....
I quite often use an iPad to access the Forum, which being an old model I'm unable to run adblockers on, and this morning I noted a banner ad for Lendy - the last time I remember these was back in 2014. Not sure it's the best place for it, but more evidence of a change in their fortunes.

Should we have a whip-round to buy you a new model? A nice Samsung Android tablet with ad blocking (and optional fire-lighting capabilities) maybe. 8>.
