Stonebridge and Matt Clarke Mortgage Services renew long-term partnership

Stonebridge, the national mortgage and protection network, has strengthened its relationship with Matt Clarke Mortgage Services by signing a new long-term agreement with the Warwickshire-based firm.

The partnership renewal extends a relationship that has already spanned almost 13 years. Matt Clarke Mortgage Services, a six-adviser business providing advice to more than 1,000 clients annually, said the decision to remain with Stonebridge was driven by the network’s ability to support its ambitions for significant growth over the next two years.

Matt Clarke, founder and director of the firm, said Stonebridge’s ongoing investment in its people and technology had been a major factor in the decision to extend the agreement.

“The Stonebridge team work their socks off to ensure they provide the best possible service. The multi-million pounds of investment in their people and their technology over the years is clear for all to see,” said Clarke.

“The Stonebridge culture is to go out of your way to help and the team provides extremely personal support – that culture extends to the member firms. Through the network I have fantastic relationships with other business owners, all of whom are very supportive of each other. Add to that a competitive financial package, great access to lenders and protection providers and it really was a no-brainer to extend the partnership. Stonebridge is continually delivering what we need when we need it.”

AMBITION

Rob Clifford, chief executive of Stonebridge, welcomed the extension of the partnership and praised Clarke’s ambition for the future growth of his business.

“Matt is a brilliant example of a successful and growing mortgage advice business and continues to have big ambitions for his firm,” Clifford said. “It’s great to see that he knows, from nearly 13 years first-hand experience of working with us, that Stonebridge is the network he can completely trust to help him realise his ambitions.

“The millions of pounds we invest annually on people, infrastructure, and technology to ensure we continue to have best-in-class support is money well spent when it helps business owners like Matt grow his business with confidence.”
