TSB Bank has over the past month hired an extra 55 new Partners to meet intermediary demand for TSB mortgages.

The roles are across broker facing teams, including the telephone support and mortgage processing teams which are based at TSB’s Keypoint office in Bristol.

The lender says this represents the latest phase in TSB Intermediary’s growth, since launching earlier in January 2015.

In March, the residential mortgage range expanded to include remortgages and in May buy-to-let was introduced through TSB Intermediary.

Roland McCormack, TSB Intermediary director, said: “TSB Intermediary continues to grow at pace and in response to this demand we are increasing our service teams.

“We have always been very clear that we won’t sacrifice service for market share so these new recruits will help ensure we continue to provide the unique expert-to-expert service that is already making us stand out from the crowd.”
