Vibrant Mortgages has become the latest firm to join Stonebridge’s network as an appointed representative (AR) firm.

Birmingham-based Vibrant Mortgages provides whole-of-market mortgage and protection advice to borrowers across the UK.

The firm of six advisers cited Stonebridge’s compliance and technology offerings as reasons for joining the national mortgage and protection network.

Stonebridge currently arranges around £15bn in mortgage lending each year, and currently authorises and supervises more than 1,300 advisers across the UK.

Director at Vibrant Mortgages, Preeti Ferrier, 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."

Chief executive at Stonebridge, Rob Clifford, 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."
