We’re pleased to announce that business development expert Liz Obee has joined Stonebridge from Mortgage Intelligence, as we look to capitalise on the significant momentum we’ve built across our national mortgage and protection network.
Liz joined us last week as our latest National Recruitment Manager and will work closely with our Recruitment and Growth Director, Lesley Sharkey, to attract new member firms and further accelerate our expansion.
Liz brings extensive experience from across the mortgage sector and, having spent more than 10 years as a mortgage and protection adviser herself, has a deep understanding of advisers’ needs and the challenges they face.
Our Chief Executive, Rob Clifford, said the appointment underlines continued ambition to grow by attracting top industry talent.
“This latest hire signals our appetite to further accelerate our expansion,” he said. “We’re thrilled to welcome someone of Liz’s calibre to our recruitment team at such an exciting time for the business. Her experience and knowledge of the network space make her a great fit for Stonebridge.”
Liz’s earlier career included roles at Countrywide and Moneysprite, before she spent two years at Mortgage Intelligence as Business Development Manager and Network Recruiter.
Commenting on her move, Liz said:
“I joined Stonebridge because I wanted to fully focus on recruitment, and the experienced recruitment team here offers the support and structure that will allow me to thrive.
“The network’s excellent reputation among advisers, along with its award-winning status and cutting-edge technology, makes it a standout choice. I’m excited to be part of Stonebridge’s growth plans and look forward to contributing to its continued success.”
We’ve grown our appointed representative membership consistently over the past eight years and now arrange more than £17 billion of lending each year. Independent research published in October revealed that we added more authorised representatives than any other mortgage and protection network.
Much of this success is driven by our commitment to adviser support and the strength of our proprietary mortgage adviser software platform, Revolution. Based in Essex, we now employ more than 200 people dedicated to supporting mortgage and protection advice firms across the UK.
