New broker network, The Right Mortgage and Protection (TRM), has entered into a preferred partnership agreement with Crystal Mortgages to offer its members independent, whole-of-market, financial product sourcing.

Covering the business-to-business sector, the agreement covers commercial mortgages, bridging loans, development finance, specialist buy-to-lets and secured loans.

In addition, the company will work with the network and its members on product development to identify potential niches and exclusive opportunities.

The Right Mortgage and Protection Network was founded in August 2014 by former Personal Touch Financial Services’ Chairman, Martin Wilson alongside joint managing director, Adam Stretton. It aims to have 200 active advisors by the end of the year comprising mortgage, protection and general insurance advisors.

Wilson (pictured) said: “TRM’s strategy is to offer ‘a refreshing approach’ to compliance aimed at protecting the customer and the broker as compared to the network. To achieve this goal we have to be aligned with the right companies to ensure all parties are offered the best advice and, in this case, the best financial packaging services. Crystal too is a growing company with similar beliefs and ethics, the partnership is the right fit.”

Damien Druce, the recently appointed head of distribution and development for Crystal Mortgages, added: “The thing that struck me most about Adam and Martin is their drive and passion to grow their business while focussing on the highest standards of service.

“This ties in extremely well with our own ethos, and we look forward to jointly raising the bar in terms of broker support excellence.”
