FFAL has been an appointed representative of TenetConnect for sixteen years and remains a subsidiary of Furness Building Society, who "after an extensive review has taken the decision to focus their activity on their core business of savings, mortgages and insurance".

Mike O’Brien, MD for TenetConnect, commented: “Aspire was successful in securing the business and we are delighted that we were able to complete the transaction. Because of our long-standing relationship with FFAL we are ideally placed to continue with the provision of the same quality of advice and customer service. This deal could provide a template for any future acquisitions.”

Furness Building Society marketing & sales director, Sue Heron, added: “After an extensive review, which put our customers’ needs at the forefront of our minds, we took the decision to transfer our financial advice operations to Aspire Financial Management Ltd. Tenet Group is a long established and reputable firm that is well known to the Society and, equally importantly, already has a good knowledge of FFAL’s activities. Therefore it made perfect sense for us to take this route.”
