Brighthouse Support Major Charity
BrightHouse the national retail outlet who specialise in the sale of home electronic and domestic appliances, sofas and other furniture and related products is proud of its partnership with Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity.
Brighthouse help the charity make life easier for children with life threatening illnesses, purchase equipment for those children as well as indispensible equipment for the hospitals and schools that care for them. Over the last four years they have received support from a number of corporate including British Airways and clothing outlet Next. Last year BrightHouse became the charity’s largest corporate sponsor. This has been made possible by the growth of the business in general.
It has been well noted recently that one of the most popular areas of lending is ‘buy now pay later’ finance available in major retailers such as BrightHouse. People making use of low or no interest offers are buying prudently and making their hard earned money go further by paying for the cost of high-value essentials such as settees and consumer products over a period of time. With the downturn in high-street spending, it seems that every retailer is getting in on the act and offering fantastic finance deals.
BrightHouse was created out of Thorn-EMI, the owner of Radio Rentals, by Terra Firma, Guy Hands’s private equity group. It gained infamy for exorbitant APRs and expensive compulsory extra cover. Currentlythe chain is on the front foot, trying to clean up both its branches and its name as it embarks on a very ambitious growth programme. It plans to inaugurate 21 branches next year and calculates that there is enough demand for at least 600.
It’s important that Brighthouse bare in mind that Many of the larger credit card companies have been taking flak recently for some of the extortionate interest rates and tricks employed to get every last pound out of the consumer. Brighthouse do not want to be percieved as doing the same thing. The rise of the world wide web has presented retail with a new challenge to deal with as customers now have much better knowledge of the market and can very easily and quickly find a better deal, you no longer have to have the business know how of a top financier to avoid such pitfalls.
