Shawbrook names buy-to-let expert as Strategic Partner
24 April 2014
Shawbrook Bank has appointed Reading-based brokerage Commercial Mortgage Desk (CMD) to its Strategic Partner programme. With combined experience of over 50 years in the mortgage industry, CMD gives support to intermediaries and their clients on a range of issues related to commercial finance, including buy-to-let, short term finance and development finance.
The Strategic Partner programme was founded with the aim of rewarding service-focused, high-performing brokers with exclusive marketing and processing benefits. Strategic Partners are measured on the level of conversion rates achieved on initial submissions and ultimate conversion to successful loan completion. The ranks of the programme have swelled from 18 to 39 since September 2012.
Commenting on CMD’s inclusion in the programme, Ann-Marie Read, Director, Commercial Mortgage Desk, said:
“We’re proud of the relationships we have with all our partners, and the recognition of our work that our position in the Strategic Partner programme brings is very gratifying. Expert support for our intermediaries and clients is something that we believe in and Shawbrook shares this dedication to excellence. We look forward to completing many more deals with Shawbrook.”
Karen Bennett, Sales & Marketing Director, Commercial Mortgages, Shawbrook Bank, said:
“We’re pleased to add Commercial Mortgage Desk to our Strategic Partner panel. We share many of the same ideals and principles, and respect their expertise across the range of areas we lend in. We welcome the value the team will add to the programme.”
