It connects the network's qualified adviser members to Air Sourcing, Air Club, and Air Academy
Later life lending platform Air has announced a new partnership with national mortgage and insurance network Stonebridge, providing the latter’s qualified adviser members access to its sourcing tool, Air Sourcing.
As part of the agreement, Stonebridge’s advisers also gain access to Air Club, which provides exclusive products, support, enhanced income, and deals, and can also benefit from the accredited training opportunities offered by Air Academy.
Mike Taylor (pictured), managing director at Air Club, commented that Stonebridge was committed to helping their adviser firms boost their skillsets and support as many customers as possible with good outcomes.
“We are delighted to have signed a deal which will provide their teams with access to Air Sourcing, Air Club, and Air Academy,” Taylor said. “Each of these unique offerings are designed to provide top quality support to users – something which is paramount in the current rapidly changing market.”
Air said the Academy provided advisers with insight, support, and content to enable them to continually develop their professionalism in an ever-changing market. It offers a range of modules which are accredited by the London Institute of Banking & Finance and aligned to the Equity Release Council’s Competency Framework.
“The need for later life lending advice is growing year-on-year, and more advisers within our appointed representative firms are either working in this space already, or looking at the ways and means by which they can add this to their toolkits,” said Rob Clifford, chief executive at Stonebridge.
“Advice in this space is vital, and to deliver it requires a specific skillset and knowledge base; we have been committed to this sector for many years but see value in this deal with a specialist provider partner, as we know it will provide a range of additional services to our ARs including sourcing, products, training, and educational support.
“Air has all this and more, and through this new partnership, we’ll ensure those advisers active in later life lending within the network have access to everything they need to provide the right outcomes for their clients.”
