Stonebridge has added Birmingham-based Vibrant Mortgages to its network of appointed representative firms as the brokerage looks to accelerate its next phase of growth.
Vibrant Mortgages, which offers whole-of-market mortgage and protection advice to clients nationwide, said Stonebridge’s compliance framework and technology platform were decisive factors in its decision to join the network.
The six-strong advisory team plans further expansion over the coming months in response to rising client demand.
Stonebridge currently oversees more than 1,300 advisers and arranges around £15 billion of mortgage lending each year.
Preeti Ferrier, director at Vibrant Mortgages, said: “We wanted to partner with a network that could fully support our ambition to deliver even higher levels of service to our clients.
“We were looking for a network with strong compliance support, efficient systems, and access to the right technology to streamline our operations and drive continued success. We found that in Stonebridge.
“Our team is set to expand quickly to meet growing client demand, and we believe Stonebridge will give us the tools we need to scale efficiently while maintaining the personal, relationship-driven service our clients expect from Vibrant.”
Rob Clifford (pictured), chief executive of Stonebridge, added: “We’re thrilled to welcome Vibrant Mortgages to the Stonebridge family. It’s always pleasing to hear how impressed firms are by the professionalism and capability of our team which, alongside our service quality, expertise in compliance, and wholly owned technology, continues to appeal to AR firms looking for a new network.
“Preeti and her team have a clear vision and a genuine commitment to delivering outstanding customer outcomes. We look forward to supporting them fully in achieving their ambitions.”
