Designation clarifies distinction between LMG and Loan Market
Loan Market Group (LMG) has appointed Ewen Stafford (pictured, left) as the mortgage aggregator’s new chief executive.
In announcing the appointment, LMG has sought to further distinguish the LMG aggregator brand from the Loan Market brokerage wing.
Stafford joined LMG as chief operating officer in 2022, after which he played a pivotal role in shaping LMG’s future.

“LMG has always been about helping brokers grow, and that’s exactly where my focus will be,” Stafford said of his appointment.
“This builds on everything we’ve been working towards - expanding the opportunities for brokers across residential, commercial, and asset finance, while continuing to invest in the best tech, security and support.
“We’re pushing the boundaries and continue investing in what matters most to brokers - so they’re set up to win, now and in the future.”
“Ewen has been at the heart of shaping Loan Market Group’s strategy, and now, as executive director and CEO, LMG, he’ll ensure we keep accelerating, investing in the right areas, and delivering more ways for brokers to grow,” said LMG’s executive chairman Sam White (pictured, centre).
White added: “Last year, we set out to clarify Loan Market and LMG as distinct businesses, designed to better serve brokers.
“Appointing Ewen as CEO of LMG is the next step in that vision – ensuring brokers have the focus, leadership, and support they need to grow outstanding businesses.”
