Due diligence and audit firm Rockstead Ltd has joined the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) as an associate member.

Brian Pitt (pictured), CEO of Rockstead, said: “Coming towards the end of our 7th year of trading and continuing to grow our business across UK, Ireland and Europe, we believe we can bring complimentary services to CML members.

“We intend to be active members of the CML and are looking forward to working with some old friends in the industry.

“The Rockstead team has vast experience of lending, servicing, distribution, compliance and credit risk and has been active in the UK, Ireland and Iberia over the past six years.

“We recently established a permanent presence in Dublin through a newly created subsidiary company and are working closely with a number of lenders and banks there too.”
