Shawbrook unites Bluestone Mortgages and The Mortgage Lender

Shawbrook has brought together the teams at Bluestone Mortgages and The Mortgage Lender (TML) to form a single, unified specialist mortgage operation.

While both brands will remain distinct, each with their own product focus and customer base, brokers will now benefit from one integrated team.

A combined sales team now supports brokers across both Bluestone and TML with dedicated regional business development squads supporting brokers through face to face, virtual and telephone support.

Key account managers will also provide joined-up or dedicated brand support depending on individual account needs.

Steve Griffiths (pictured), commercial director at Shawbrook Retail Mortgages, said: "Bringing together the Bluestone and TML business development teams under one roof marks a significant step forward in how we support the broker community. While both brands will continue to offer distinct propositions, this unified approach allows us to deliver greater consistency, deeper expertise and faster access to solutions – all backed by the scale and strength of Shawbrook. I’m incredibly proud of the team for embracing this change with energy and focus, and I’m confident this new structure will create real value for our intermediary partners and their customers."

Miguel Sard, chief banking officer for retail at Shawbrook, added: "This integration isn’t just a change in structure – it’s a step change in capability. By uniting Bluestone and TML within the Shawbrook Group, we’re combining deep specialist expertise with the financial strength, data insight and technology of a scale lender. That means brokers and customers benefit from greater certainty, a broader product range and a more streamlined experience – all while retaining the identity and agility that made Bluestone and TML trusted names in the market. It’s a compelling proposition, and one that sets the foundation for long-term, sustainable growth in the specialist mortgage space."
