Mortgage and insurance network, Stonebridge, and Premier Property Solutions, the Hertfordshire-based broker firm, have announced a renewed partnership with a new long-term deal.

The broker firm, which has already been with Stonebridge for over 10 years, says the decision to extend the partnership was down to Stonebridge being able to provide a platform to grow and succeed.

Currently nine-strong, Premier Property Solutions has plans to expand the team to 15, at which point he says the banked business levels would reach £1.5 million to £2 million.

To achieve that, Premier Property Solutions Director Paul Johnson says Stonebridge needs to keep doing what it’s done for over a decade: providing support when it’s needed across all levels of the business and providing technology and systems that allow for easy workflows.

Johnson added: “Committing to a new long-term agreement is not a decision taken lightly, particularly when you need a network to be able to support you through each stage of your business’ growth.

“Your network partner needs to prioritise what it’s ARs prioritise – across both mortgages and protection. With 10 years’ experience of seeing up close how Stonebridge operates, we know that they walk the talk when it comes to service and support, which gave us great confidence in our decision.”

Rob Clifford, Stonebridge’s chief executive, added: “We are obviously very pleased to be continuing our relationship with Premier Property Solutions and, in our opinion, it not only emphatically demonstrates the strength of our proposition, but our ability to work in partnership with our AR member firms for the long-term, whatever their size of firm.

“As we’ve done over the last decade, Stonebridge will support Paul and the team to help them successfully execute their growth plans. It has been a fantastic partnership for all these years, and we’re excited to see what the future holds.”
