Bluestone Mortgages has announced the revision of its sales team with the addition of Ben Curran as business development manager (BDM) and the promotions of Kelly Powell and Nik Sukara to Field BDMs.

These appointments and promotions are part of the specialist lender’s commitment to better support brokers and customers with adverse credit across the country.

Curran has joined Bluestone as BDM overseeing and managing broker relationships in the South West of England and Wales. Prior to this, he worked in the sales team of Liberty, a specialist lender in Australia.

Powell has been promoted to field BDM covering London, while Sukara will cover the North West and Yorkshire. Both will be responsible for promoting and developing awareness of Bluestone’s products and business proposition in their respective markets.

This new hire and promotions follow the recent appointments of Steve Bailey as the South East of England’s field-based BDM, and Phil Quinn as national account manager.

Mark Hollands, head of sales and distribution, Bluestone Mortgages, said: “We are delighted to have Ben join our team as business development manager and help strengthen our team in the South West of England and Wales.

“We are also pleased to promote both Kelly and Nik, who have played pivotal roles in expanding our proposition in their markets.

“This new appointment and promotions support our ultimate mission as a specialist lender to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to climb onto or up the property ladder and make their homeownership dream come true.”
