The Cornerstone Finance Group is launching a new podcast designed to address key challenges and opportunities in the mortgage and protection market.

The ongoing series will highlight how top-performing mortgage advisors can turn customers into long-standing clients and build a successful and scalable business.

The first episode ‘The Fixed-Rate Mortgage Expiry Surge‘ will launch on 29th of April and will be available on all major platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Cornerstone Podcast

The podcast is produced in collaboration with Business News Wales as part of the media firm’s podcast production service. Gemma Casey, editor of Business News Wales, is the podcast host.

The series features insights from Cornerstone’s senior team, funders and finance providers as well as advisors who share best practice on client conversations and relationships.

Guests will tackle topics including being ready for the record numbers of fixed-rate deals due to expire in 2025 and 2026, supporting first-time buyers, buy-to-let borrowers and foreign nationals, and helping clients with protection products and bridging finance.

Haydn Thomas, CEO of Cornerstone Finance Group, said:

“Supporting our mortgage advisors and appointed representatives within the Cornerstone Network to offer the best possible service to their clients and to develop a relationship management model is key to everything we do.

“Launching our own podcast is the ideal way to share the wealth of expertise and experience we have in the business as well as amongst our network of top-performing advisors and that of the funders and providers we work closely with.

“We want to bring these insights and examples of best practice to a wide audience of financial services professionals who are looking to enhance their knowledge of and strategies in the mortgage market.”
