The Cornerstone Network is celebrating winning two accolades at the PMS Bankhall Awards.

Our network – part of Cardiff-headquartered Cornerstone Finance Group – took the titles of Best Mortgage & Protection Firm 2025 and Top Buy to Let Firm 2025.

The awards were held as part of a celebratory black-tie dinner after this year’s PMS Bankhall Conference, held at The Vox, Resorts World, Birmingham.

The conference and dinner brought together advisers and partners to reflect on trends reshaping the mortgage industry, including shifting customer expectations, a rapidly evolving market and the growing role of technology and AI in advice delivery.

Phil Emanuel, Our Director of Growth, said:

“The Cornerstone Network is going from strength to strength.

“Our ambition is to be the most trusted network in the mortgage and protection advisory market, and we are well on the way to achieving this. Winning these awards is testament to how our network consistently goes above and beyond to upskill themselves, to support one another and to provide a first-class, relationship-led service for their clients.”
