The Countrywide network has launched a new facility with Bureau van Dijk to help its members target commercial clients more effectively.

The facility provides Countrywide brokers with 65% discount off the cost of the FAME database, which includes information on 3 million businesses in the UK and Ireland.

John Dawson, head of Countrywide, said: “The greater the broker's knowledge about a client, the greater the opportunity to win new business. As such, we're expecting take-up amongst members to be high.”
