Stonebridge has appointed Nicole Emery as a new business development manager (BDM) responsible for its member firms in the South West.

Emery joins from Trussle where she served as mortgage advisor. 

She has held roles in other sectors where she provided business support, consultancy, training, and mentoring to a network of advisers.

In her new role, Emery will be a field-based BDM working closely with appointed representative (AR) firms and their advisers across areas including client bank management, strategic planning, sales development, lead generation, business referral opportunities, and recruitment. 

She will report to senior business development manager Natalia Kennewell.

Stonebridge chief executive Rob Clifford says: “At Stonebridge, we pride ourselves on the ways in which we support our AR firms, and having experienced individuals to work closely with advisers is often cited as one of the key benefits of joining and staying with us.”

“We are therefore very pleased to be able to welcome Nicole to the BDM team and, given her skill set and experience, believe she will be a real asset to our member firms and the individuals she will be working with.”
