Directly authorised advisers set to benefit from merger between Next Intelligence and Dynamo for Intermediaries mortgage clubs

Dynamo for Intermediaries and Next Intelligence mortgage clubs are joining forces as part of a move to streamline and strengthen the wider offering to mortgage intermediaries. The combined club will be under the management of Cat Armstrong, Club Director. Moving forwards the brand will be known as Next Intelligence with a dedicated sales team headed up by the recently promoted Louise Perry, Head of Club Sales.

John Cupis, MD of Mortgage Intelligence and Dynamo, said, “We are combining the strength and scale of two outstanding mortgage clubs to serve our advisers with an even greater offering for mortgages, protection and general insurance products. Advisers will also have access to award-winning expertise to help with complex buy to let, bridging, commercial, development finance and second charge cases. We have exciting plans to grow and develop the offering and look forward to supporting our member firms and their customers.”

As one of the UK’s original DA mortgage clubs, Next Intelligence launched in 2011 bringing together Mortgage Intelligence and Mortgage Next’s directly authorised clubs which were both established in 1996. It has a prestigious legacy and a current membership of 3,500 intermediary members. It offers a slick 48-hour payment system for its well-established lender panel together with an excellent helpdesk for protection and mortgages.

The award-winning distributor, Dynamo for Intermediaries, was launched in 2012 and has established itself as a specialist mortgage club and packager. With its history of buy to let, bridging and commercial, plus a large and diverse lender panel, the club offers its 4,000 members a dedicated and bespoke service through its packaging team and specialist helpdesk.

Cat Armstrong, Club Director, said, “The change will bring benefits to members of both clubs who will see more staff members on hand to support them, as well as dedicated contacts to provide case placement and training for specialist and complex buy to let, residential, bridging and commercial lending. The fantastic service already offered by both clubs will remain as a key strength.”

Jason Bryant, Head of Network Sales, added, “I’m delighted to be handing over the reins of the mortgage club to Cat Armstrong. I will continue to support the transition and our members over the coming months. I’ve immensely enjoyed working so closely with our members over the past decade, helping them grow and develop their businesses. My sole focus will now be on Mortgage Intelligence Network, whilst I know that our directly authorised club members will be in safe hands for the future.”
