The firm said it decided to renew its long-standing relationship with Stonebridge that had been built over the years, adding that a key factor in its decision was access to the senior leadership team.
James Miller & Associates said it valued the network’s approachable and supportive style, as well as its ability to support the firm’s growth. It cited access to training offered by Stonebridge, providing professional development for advisers.
The mortgage and protection firm said it was looking to grow and add to its 11 existing advisers.
James Miller, founder of James Miller & Associates, said: “The team and I have thoroughly enjoyed being a member of the Stonebridge family. We’ve developed strong relationships with the senior leadership team as well as key people in the wider business, and they’ve always been supportive and constructive.
“Their vision as a network closely aligns with our own. It’s all about getting the best outcomes for customers. The bespoke training and development opportunities they provide also help our people achieve their own personal ambitions.”

Rob Clifford, chief executive of Stonebridge, said: “James and his team have built an excellent reputation by putting customers at the heart of the business, and their impressive customer feedback reflects this. We’re delighted that we’ll be continuing to support them as principal, very much supporting the continued and ambitious growth plans.
“Our role is to provide appointed representatives who choose Stonebridge with the support, development opportunities and infrastructure they need to succeed, and the litmus test for us is whether they feel like they can expand at a pace they’re happy with.”
