Shawbrook Bank sees further growth of its Strategic Partner programme
Shawbrook Bank has included two new brokers in its Strategic Partner programme and expanded existing
Partners’ product ranges. Commercial broker Commercial Expert has been awarded Strategic Partner status,
along with lending packager, Intelligent Loans. Both are Strategic Partners in investment loans under £750K,
trading business loans and short term loans.
Additionally, the following changes have been made to existing Partner product ranges:

Newsource is now a Strategic Partner on larger loans, in addition to smaller investment products and
trading business loans

3MC is now a Strategic Partner on larger loans, in addition to smaller investment products and trading
business loans

ATOM is a Strategic Partner on short term loans, in addition to loans for trading businesses and
investment products under £750K
See below for the full list of Partners.
Shawbrook launched its Strategic Partnership programme in September 2012 with 18 commercial mortgage
brokers, to recognise and encourage the highest quality of business from its brokers. The 32 Strategic Partners
now in the programme, who have met the stringent criteria required, receive exclusive process and marketing
benefits, as well as higher commission rates across the range of Shawbrook’s products. Brokers are central to
Shawbrook’s business and Strategic Partners play a vital role in the bank’s product development and the
success of its commercial lending range.
Karen Bennett, Director of Sales and Marketing, Commercial Mortgages at Shawbrook Bank, said:
“We’re very pleased to see the growth in our Strategic Partner programme and specifically welcome the
newest additions. This scheme was put in place over a year ago to recognise the reduced costs of working
with certain broker partners whose business converts at a higher standard and who submit consistent business
levels. .”
Michael Coates, Managing Director, Commercial Expert, said: “We’re based in the North East of England
and are really proud of the work we do up here – we work hard to find a solution for all our clients. There aren’t
many lenders who work in the area so we value the personal relationship we have with Shawbrook and it’s
really gratifying to have been awarded Strategic Partner status, which is critical to our expansion plans.
Working with Shawbrook is a genuine partnership and helps us get even better deals for our clients.”
Adrian Rawle, Head of Commercial, Intelligent Loans, said: “We’re delighted to have been awarded
Strategic Partner status so quickly. It’s great to be able to offer Shawbrook’s range of innovative products to
our introducers across the UK. We appreciate how simple Shawbrook makes it for us – the process is clear
from application to completion. Their offering complements that of our existing providers of commercial finance
and we look forward to a strong end to 2013 working with Shawbrook.”
