Vision Money has cemented its existing relationship with Stonebridge by renewing its membership with the mortgage and protection network with another long-term agreement.
Principal and MD, Ben Leach, cited superior technology and access to senior management as key reasons for the decision.
Based in Truro, Cornwall, Vision Money has a team of eight advisers spanning every corner of the mortgage market, from traditional home loans to specialist mortgages, including self-build and equity release.
When asked why he valued the network, Leach also called out Stonebridge's ‘sensible’ approach to compliance as he looks to grow business volumes and the size of the adviser team in the next few years.
Leach said: “Not all networks are equal, and we really feel incredibly well supported by Stonebridge.
“The fact that we can access senior management is just one of the things that stands out. It tells us they’re genuinely invested in our success, and then there’s the technology.
“We use the network’s adviser platform, called Revolution, and that underpins our business. On compliance, we’ve heard how other networks can get it all a bit wrong, either being too strict or not strict enough, but we feel Stonebridge strikes the right balance.”
Stonebridge is the second-largest mortgage network by the number of AR firms, adding more ARs last year than any other similar network for the fourth year running.
Jo Carrasco, Business Partnerships Director at Stonebridge, said: “Having firms like Ben’s renew is the biggest compliment we receive.
“There’s no shortage of choice out there, but we work tirelessly to give ARs every reason to think of us as an extension of their own business. We’re constantly improving Revolution, and we’ll continue to invest in it so it remains the backbone of our ARs’ businesses and gives them a runway to success.”
