Stonebridge has appointed Stevie Berry as national recruitment manager.

Berry, a former mortgage broker, joins from Openwork where she was partnership recruitment manager, focusing on the growth of existing firms and AR recruitment across mortgages and wealth.

Prior to that, she was sales manager at Embrace, an AR firm under Primis.

In her new role, Berry will work alongside Oliver Couchman, who joined as national recruitment manager in July.

Stonebridge recruitment and growth director Lesley Sharkey says: “The fact that time, after time, after time the very best talent in our sector chooses Stonebridge speaks volumes for our culture, our focus on our member firms, and our strategic vision.”
