Dudley Building Society has announced the key partnerships through which the broker market will be able to do business with the mutual.

The seven distributors are: ATOM, Brightstar Financial, Complete FS, Manor Mortgages, Platinum Options, RHL and Solent Mortgage Services.

Gordon Rae, intermediary relationship manager for the Dudley, said: “When I joined in July, I was excited by the plans to build the Society’s mortgage business through close relationships with the intermediary market.

“The partners we have chosen all share common attributes. They all have tremendous experience in the mortgage field and helping the intermediary. They also share our belief in the primacy of customers and their needs. We are going to be launching new products as we bed in our administration systems and new personnel.

“Intermediaries will now be able to choose which of our seven partners they wish to engage to access our services.”

Sam Foxall, head of distribution at Dudley Building Society, added: “This is an exciting time for the Dudley. We have taken a conscious decision to work exclusively with the intermediary sector.

“Working through partners like these, who are not only proactive in marketing our service, but also completely tuned into the needs of advisers and their clients, we are looking forward to developing relationships which will prove to be beneficial to all concerned and particularly the customers of our introducers.”
