Our History

1994

Formed in 1994 and incorporated in 1996, the business was initially known as Exclusive Connections and acted as a co-operative of mortgage packagers, providing access to specialist mortgage products and service benefits for its members thanks to the scale of the business and its distribution.

2008

In 2008 the company purchased its mortgage club from Money Supermarket plc and rebranded to Brilliant Solutions.  This purchase enabled the business model to transform and evolve into today’s business thanks to the addition of direct to lender mortgage distribution products, services, relationships and expertise.
