Shares in beleaguered UK lender Bradford & Bingley have risen after news insurance magnate Clive Cowdery is seeking control of the company for £400m.

Cowdery’s investment fund, Resolution, will team up with other investors to inject the cash in Bradford & Bingley, which is currently trying to raise funds through a rights issue and tie-up with private equity firm TPG Capital.

Real Business’s sister publication Real Deals reported earlier this month that TPG Capital wants to take a 23 per cent stake in Bradford & Bingley, the UK’s largest buy-to-let lender, worth £179m.

Cowdery made millions when he sold insurance business Resolution Life to Pearl.
