In May 2003, Ben started; “BuyToLet-Furnishings" with a £15k student loan, after completing his degree at Nottingham University. His aim was to provide a "one stop" furnishing solution for the residential property sector within Greater Manchester.

Ben started LOFT with £15k and now it's turning over close to £20m.
