Commenting, John Coffield, head of Paradigm Mortgage Services, commented: “The inclusion of Clydesdale Bank on the PFA lender panel is a real bonus for our network firms who can now access its range of quality mortgage products and the value-added services it delivers to intermediaries.
“Clydesdale does not target the whole advisory market, instead it has built up a limited panel of strategic partners, of which PFA is now one. Its focus is on targeting medium to high-net worth customers and through this new relationship with PFA member firms we are confident that business levels can be grown in this area for the benefit of Clydesdale, PFA, member firms and clients.
“Paradigm’s partnership approach is a constant in terms of how we work with lenders, providers and members – we are looking forward to continuing our work with the Clydesdale Bank team in order to make this relationship a real success.”
