Bluestone Mortgages has strengthened its sales team by hiring a business development manager for the South West of England and Wales and made two other promotions.  

The specialist lender has appointed Ben Curran to the BDM role covering the South West and the Principality to manage broker relationships.  

Prior to this, Curran worked in the Liberty sales team, a specialist lender in Australia.   

The business, which focuses on adverse credit home loans, has also promoted Kelly Powell who becomes a field business development manager covering London, while Nik Sukara becomes field business development manager for the North West and Yorkshire.   

It adds: “Both will be responsible for promoting and developing awareness of Bluestone’s products and business proposition in their respective markets.”  

The moves at the firm follow the recent appointments of Steve Bailey as South East of England’s field-based business development manager, and Phil Quinn as national account manager.
