The Ipswich Building Society has launched its Prestige programme for 2016, the exclusive club for its loyal broker partners.

This follows the launch in June 2015 of its dedicated broker brand and new proposition. Membership to its Prestige Club is by invitation only with numbers strictly limited to a maximum of 18 partners.

At the launch event at Duxford Air Museum, members were given exclusive intermediary access to two of the Society’s new mortgage products.

Paul Winter (pictured), CEO of Ipswich Building Society, said: “This latest launch of Prestige brokers builds on our improved proposition , highlighting our strengths in manual underwriting and in supporting the needs of mortgage misfits, particularly older borrowers, the self-employed, self-builders and applicants facing major life changes.

“Whilst we have been working hard to review our processes to benefit all brokers who work with us, our Prestige members will benefit further from having a personally assigned underwriter and other exclusive benefits such as exclusive event invitations, limited availability products and fast-track case processing.”
