Cornerstone Network has moved to a regional relationship structure as it looks to increase support capacity and give its member firms clearer points of contact.

The FCA-regulated network has divided its relationship team between the North and South, with separate heads and relationship managers covering each region.

Andrew Needham has been appointed head of network relationships for the North, working alongside Nayanaa Prashar, relationship manager for the North.

Graeme Lewis will serve as head of network relationships for the South, supported by Wayne Donovan as relationship manager for the South.

REGIONAL STRUCTURE

Donovan recently moved into the relationship manager role after previously working as a head office mortgage adviser.

The changes come as Cornerstone Network expands and are intended to provide firms with more focused support as they develop their mortgage and protection businesses.

The network forms part of Cornerstone Finance Group, whose operations span commercial finance, mortgages, commercial insurance, wealth and protection.

Haydn Thomas, group chief executive, said: “This updated structure reflects our continued commitment to strengthening relationships across the network and ensuring firms receive the support they need to achieve their goals.

“As the network grows, we remain dedicated to empowering ambitious mortgage and protection advisers to grow their own businesses with confidence.”
