Kensington Group Limited (KGL) has rebranded to become The Northview Group Limited.

This follows the purchase of KGL and affiliated entities by Blackstone Tactical Opportunities and TPG Special Situations Partners in 2015.

The Northview Group will operate the brands of its affiliated companies and subsidiaries, including Kensington Mortgage Company Limited (Kensington) and Acenden Limited (Acenden).

Amany Attia, chief executive of The Northview Group, said: “We are very excited to announce the launch of The Northview Group. We expect this new brand will provide a terrific platform to support the growth of Kensington and Acenden, allowing us to bring innovation, insight and transparency to the mortgage market.

“As a group we are fortunate to benefit from the experience and consistency of companies with a 20 year history of innovating and serving the market, alongside the backing and ambition of the management team and shareholders.”

The Northview Group will also be launching a new brand called New Street Mortgages, with the launch scheduled for early this year.
