The Cornerstone Network has expanded its relationship team to provide firms with clearer points of contact, increased capacity and more focused support.

We will now operate on a regional basis, with Andrew Needham appointed as Head of Network Relationships (North), supported by Nayanaa Prashar as Relationship Manager (North).

In the South, Graeme Lewis will take on the role of Head of Network Relationships (South), supported by Wayne Donovan, who recently moved into the Relationship Manager (South) role after previously serving as Head Office Mortgage Adviser.

The Cornerstone Network is part of Cornerstone Finance Group, a hub of financial industry experts offering specialist interlinking services. The Group consists of commercial finance, mortgages, commercial insurance, wealth and protection.

Our CEO Haydn Thomas said:

“This updated structure reflects our continued commitment to strengthening relationships across the network and ensuring firms receive the support they need to achieve their goals.

“As the network grows, we remain dedicated to empowering ambitious mortgage and protection advisers to grow their own businesses with confidence.”
