Matrix-Data Solutions and Centaur Media renew their partnership

Matrix-Data Solutions and Centaur Media’s Financial Services Division have renewed their partnership contract, cementing their 3 year relationship. The result of this agreement gives Matrix-Data Solutions access to the circulation data from Money Marketing, Mortgage Strategy and Fund Strategy Magazines. This information is used to further enrich the Matrix Financial Intermediary Database (MFID) making it the most comprehensive and flexible database of its kind.

The Matrix Financial Intermediary Database is more than 20 years old having started life as a printed directory. Containing detailed information on UK IFAs, investment, mortgage, protection and insurance intermediaries, the database is now completely flexible, offering bespoke data selections for one-off use through to annual licences allowing full access to the entire database though our secure web-based software, Matrix FS:web.

There are several ways that we continually research and enhance the information that we hold. As well as the Centaur information, we also host a free lead generation site for Financial Intermediaries, www.MyLocalAdviser.co.uk which is used to further enhance the data, which is also regularly verified against the FSA Register. This in turn is backed up with our own research into this market.
Centaur Media PLC is one of the UK's leading specialist and business publishing information companies. The primary focus of Centaur’s Financial Services products is on retail financial services and the information interface between IFAs (independent financial advisers) and the providers of financial products and services.

David Lovell, Sales and Marketing Director said, "We are delighted the Centaur have agreed to carry on our relationship into 2009. We believe that the combination of our information into the Matrix Financial Intermediary Database has created a database that is hailed as the industry standard. Financial Product Providers and others that want to target this market can now conduct highly targeted campaigns using our intelligence."

Daniel Brill, Director of Online, Centaur Media said ' We are very happy to continue our partnership arrangement with Matrix throughout 2009 and I look forward to building on the successful relationship we have enjoyed over the last 3 years.'
