Brilliant Solutions has become the latest firm to join the Equity Release Council.

The mortgage club and specialist distributor works with advisers across the UK.

Jim Boyd, CEO of the Equity Release Council, said: “People’s borrowing needs can change considerably as they get older, so it is important that the mortgage and later life lending markets do not operate in isolation.

“Working with organisations such as Brilliant Solutions helps us share knowledge across the market and support advisers in helping customers understand the options available to them.”

Tom Brett, head of commercial and business development at the Equity Release Council, echoed this sentiment: “Bringing more of the mortgage market into the later life conversation is important, and we’re looking forward to working with Brilliant Solutions to share knowledge, engage more advisers and help build greater awareness of the options available to customers in later life.”

Michael Craig, managing director of Brilliant Solutions, said: “We’re pleased to be joining the Equity Release Council and look forward to working with the council and its members.

“Later life lending is an important part of the mortgage market and advisers need to be able to look at the different options available to their customers. Being part of the council gives us the opportunity to share what we see and hear from advisers, while also helping our members keep up to date with the later life market.”

Boyd added: “We’re delighted to welcome Brilliant Solutions to the Equity Release Council. They work with advisers and lenders across the mortgage market and will bring useful insight and experience to our membership.”
