Chris Nairn, director of mortgage compliance at New Leaf Distribution Ltd, said: “Norton Broker Services fits into our advice model perfectly and allows advisors to provide a wide range of options to their clients.

“I particularly liked the service offering that will be provided and look forward to a long and rewarding relationship.”
