Bluestone Mortgages has announced a new organisational structure for its senior management team.

Under the leadership of Steve Seal, the new structure is designed to support Bluestone’s plans following the growth it has achieved over the past two years.

Bluestone is looking to help a greater diversity of customers secure ownership of their home whilst enhancing the service it provides to its intermediary partners and streamlining the day-to-day management of the business.

The new senior team will be responsible for the strategic leadership of the business and committed to strengthening Bluestone’s reputation as a leader in specialist lending.

Seal (pictured), managing director of Bluestone Mortgages, said: “We are lucky to have a strong and diverse senior management team to lead Bluestone Mortgages as we continue the next stage of company growth.

“Last year Bluestone went from strength to strength originating over £320m of new loans, a 127% increase on the prior year, and we plan to maintain this momentum over the coming year. Having a strong executive team focusing on improving products, service, technology, infrastructure and compliance, will enable us to further cement Bluestone as a trusted leader in the specialist lending market.”

Emma Hollingworth will lead the sales and marketing function, while lending operations will be led by lending operations directorJack Warner, who will be responsible for all new business.

Mortgage servicing will be led by Lyndon Betteley, mortgage operations director. Andy Voss, chief financial officer, will head up funding strategy and treasury operations whilst Andrew Davies will continue as risk and compliance director, ensuring regulatory and conduct oversight.

Seal added: “As we start the new year, we will continue to reaffirm our commitment to delivering a first-rate mortgage proposition that meets the demands of brokers, and ultimately, customers. The new structure of the senior management team encompasses all sectors of the business, from broker relationships to compliance, creating a varied and adaptable team.

“I am confident the new structure of our senior management team will reaffirm Bluestone’s commitment to focus on supporting customers who cannot secure a mortgage from a High Street lender, driven by technology and innovative lending solutions – I am excited to see what 2020 holds for the company.”
