“I’m delighted to join Bluestone Mortgages, and to work closely with the team to promote Bluestone to the broker community in Wales and the South West of England,” Wiggins said. “As a growing number of customers are being turned away by mainstream lenders, I’m excited to continue to support this underserved segment of the market and enable brokers to help their clients achieve their homeownership goals through alternative lending solutions and products.”
Owen, recently promoted from broker support team leader, will support and work alongside Nik Sukara, field-based BDM for Yorkshire and North West of England. He joined Bluestone in 2019 as broker support officer.
“This promotion is an exciting next step in my career at Bluestone,” Owen said. “I look forward to building further relationships with brokers and educating them on our proposition.”
Commenting on the appointments, Mark Hollands, head of sales and distribution at Bluestone Mortgages, said growing the team to support the rise in adverse customers is a key focus for the specialist lender.
“Carly’s appointment and Ben’s promotion are a clear reflection of this,” he said. “Carly and Ben will be invaluable in helping us grow our presence in these regions and educate brokers to better understand the range of specialist lending solutions available.”
