The Dudley Building Society has revealed that Connect Mortgage Club is the latest distributor to join its panel of introducers.

Connect Mortgage Club was responsible for over £400 million of lending in 2014. Its packaging side will now be able to provide a service to its introducers, which will include the Dudley Building Society.

Jonathan Moore, head of credit at the Dudley Building Society, said: “Connect has a strong introducer base in the broker market. We are confident that with the obvious expertise they employ, their packaging arm will be a persuasive advocate of the Dudley’s service as a provider of borrowing solutions requiring individual underwriting, for which the Society has built up a strong reputation.”

Kevin Thomson, sales director of Connect Mortgage Club, added: “We are delighted to be joining Dudley’s panel of approved introducers. Their diverse range of competitive buy-to-let and expat products in particular are very much in line with our broker audience and the needs of their clients.

“The Society’s personal approach to underwriting will mean each case will be reviewed in a complete and fair light and avoid the potential pitfalls often associated with technology based underwriting.

“We are therefore confident that these products will prove extremely popular with our introducing brokers and we look forward to developing a mutually beneficial relationship with Dudley.”
