Mortgage and advisory community Needham Financial has been launched within the Cornerstone Network by brothers Jonathan and Andrew Needham.
The launch of Needham Financial is powered by Cornerstone Finance Group.
Jonathan will become business development director, while Andrew is taking on the role of business development manager.
Jonathan has worked in financial services for almost 30 years, including for a building society and running financial teams within corporate estate agencies and a mortgage network.
Andrew brings experience of working at a high street bank and mortgage network.
Commenting on the launch, Jonathan says: “The relationships I’ve established over the years and the trust, loyalty and respect I’ve been able to build with brokers and firms has come from my belief that you need somebody at your side to provide you with the right level of support.”
“That could be with lead generation, marketing, recruitment, business growth, developing multiple income streams or even working towards an exit.”
“There’s a lot of talk within the industry from the regulators about treating customers fairly, but you rarely hear talk about treating brokers fairly. That’s something that Andrew and I really want to champion.”
Cornerstone Finance Group chief executive officer Haydn Thomas adds: “This is a great signing for Cornerstone. Jonathan and Andrew are highly experienced and hugely respected in the mortgage industry. They are very well-connected across Yorkshire and beyond.”
“The Cornerstone Network is still less than three years old, and already we’re at 185 advisors. Having Jonathan and Andrew as part of the group is going to help us grow at an accelerated rate and broaden our reach geographically.”
