Complete FS has been chosen by Shawbrook Bank to be part of its Strategic Partner programme in recognition of the business generated through its introducers.

Phil Jay, director of the national intermediary packager, believes the promotion to the Strategic Partner group means that brokers will benefit from the closer relationship between the lender and Complete.

He said: “This is a tremendous accolade for Complete FS. We work closely with our lending panel and it is good to see that the work of the Complete team has been acknowledged by Shawbrook. The market for commercial and short term loans continues to grow and thanks to lenders like Shawbrook we have the lenders who are now making it so much easier to access the kind of funding clients are looking for.

“Brokers will definitely benefit from the closer relationship which further improves communication and overall service levels.”

Karen Bennett, sales and marketing director for commercial mortgages at Shawbrook Bank, added: “We are pleased that Complete FS have been awarded with Strategic Partner status. Inclusion in the programme is a testament to both the excellent role they’re performing supporting their introducers and also working in partnership with the teams here at Shawbrook to convert new business into completions – which is what we are all striving for after all.”
