Bluestone Mortgages has announced the departure of its sales & marketing director, Reece Beddall.

Beddall joined the business in 2016 and leaves Bluestone to return home to Australia.

In the interim, Ryan Davies, Bluestone’s strategy director, will be assuming the role in addition to his existing duties.

Steve Seal, CEO of Bluestone Mortgages, said: “Reece was a huge asset to the business and I’d like to personally thank him for the contribution he made over the last eight years.

“Reece played a key role in helping us become a significant player in the specialist lending industry, and while he is stepping away from the business to return home to Australia, he leaves Bluestone Mortgages in an excellent position.”

Beddall added: “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Bluestone Mortgages, and it has been a pleasure to support its growth. The time is now right for me to return home to Australia, but I wish Bluestone Mortgages continued success.”
