Crystal Specialist Finance and Beneficial network join forces

Crystal Specialist Finance (CSF) has been appointed to the Beneficial network panel to deliver product solutions and education from across its six core specialist divisions.

With immediate effect the specialist distributor will assist the network’s 170 independent advisers with bridging, buy-to-let mortgages, commercial mortgages, development finance, second charge loans and specialist residential applications and queries.

Quickly following on the focus will move onto training, with CSF playing a leading role in direct education and national and regional events which are designed to promote expertise in the specialist finance sector.

Dan Morris, key account director at CSF, said: “A growing number of UK consumers are failing to fit high street lenders’ criteria and this trend is likely to continue through 2020 and beyond.

“Jason and his Beneficial team have a real focus on education and this offers great synergies for us both. I am therefore extremely confident that our national reach and consultative sales approach will ensure complex issues are easily resolved.”

Jason McDonald, managing director at Beneficial, added: “This represents a great opportunity for Beneficial to work with a formidable team of experts who can guide our advisers and their clients towards the best possible outcomes.

“I cannot wait for this partnership to start in earnest and I look forward to our journey together.”
