Who we are
We are an independent family business with long experience in the
home credit industry. Formed in Swindon in 1930 by Denis and Leonard Winslow,
the business is run today by Ken and Simon Winslow, son and grandson
of the Founder.
We began as credit retailers - selling clothing, footwear, household
goods, beds, furniture and floor coverings - payable by weekly payments,
collected from customers' homes. 45 years later, short-term cash
loans were introduced, and the demand soon overtook that for merchandise.
Cheque cashing was introduced in 1993 - the first such office in
Swindon. With a long background and tradition in financial services
and the processing of cash, we believe we have the required knowledge
and ability for this service, together with a better understanding
of our customers' needs.
In 2000 we opened an office in Trowbridge and 5 years later one in Basingstoke and added lots more services.
