Bluestone Mortgages has appointed Phil Quinn as its national account manager as it looks to “grow the firm’s market share in the specialist lending market”.

He joins the company from LiveMore Capital where he was head of intermediary sales for just under a year and before that, was the head of national accounts at Together for nearly three years.

Before that, he worked at Pepper Money for more than two years, most recently as national account manager, and previously worked at Scottish Widows as a business development manager for around three years.

Quinn also held roles at Halifax for around five years including local mortgage manager and mortgage adviser.

Reece Beddall, sales and marketing director at Bluestone Mortgages, said: “We are excited to welcome Phil as he takes on this new role to grow our market share in the residential specialist lending market.

“Phil brings with him a wealth of experience in the mortgage industry and has a strong track record in managing broker and corporate relationships, which will be invaluable as we look to expand our proposition to help more brokers and their customers achieve their homeownership dreams.”

Loan.co.uk hires Bailey as partnerships director

Fintech broker Loan.co.uk has appointed Philip Bailey as its partnerships director as the firm “enters its next phase of strategic growth”.

Bailey has around 15 years of experience, having worked at Legal and General, Twenty7tec and Meet Parker.

Loan.co.uk’s chief executive Paul McGerrigan said: “Phil’s success and reputation speak volumes. He has been a huge driver of growth through his understanding of partnerships, wherever he has worked.

“His strategic acumen, technical vision and industry expertise promise to be invaluable as we navigate the future. We are very excited to work with him.”

Bailey added: “With our industry set for a huge and long overdue shake-up in secured loans and wider specialist borrowing, it was an easy decision to join and help drive the next growth phase. Having witnessed the real value of AI over the past few years, I recognise the advancements Loan.co.uk has made in this sector with its technology are game changing.

“Loan.co.uk is driving significant efficiency and value to partners and their clients using cutting-edge technology developed from scratch. They’re not replacing advisers but making them significantly more efficient and effective at what they do. This genuine ambition to transform how things are done, driving lower fees and more value to borrowers excites me.”
