As part of the integration of brands, the new team will offer brokers support and advice across both banks’ full range of products and services including residential and buy-to-let mortgages.

Business development managers will help with all product and lending policy queries as well as offering advice on making an application.

The new team will also provide a bespoke approach to underwriting more complex cases.

Sarah Green, head of mortgage distribution and general insurance at Virgin Money, said: “This is another important step in our journey to combine Virgin Money and Clydesdale Bank.

“The new team have a combined wealth of experience and will help brokers find the right product for their customers.

“As well as having access to a full range of Virgin Money and Clydesdale Bank products, brokers will be able to chat directly to their business development manager about complex cases which may require a more flexible and bespoke approach to underwriting complex cases, something which Clydesdale Bank is widely known for.”
