Intermediaries Hub

As The Cumberland continues to develop and grow its intermediary relationships we are determined to stay true to our ‘Kinder Banking’ ethos.

We recently caught up with Anne Hodgson, Intermediary Business Development Manager, as she reflects on the Intermediary journey at The Cumberland.

We caught up with Kevin Aitken, Senior Sales Manager at The Cumberland, whose specialist focus on Holiday Let lending puts him at the centre of a competitive market with plenty of broker opportunities right now.

The Cumberland has enabled investors Mike and Elina James to transform their historic Eyemouth grain mill into a high-end Holiday Let. The £1.1 million financing package includes funds for the development of the couple’s new family home, a 19th-century church in Kinloch.

Grant Seaton, Head of Intermediary Lending reflects on the last 20 months of building our Intermediary team.

The Cumberland has announced the launch of its new broker portal, in partnership with Mast. It is designed to streamline the mortgage process for intermediaries on their panel.

You have led The Cumberland’s intermediary partnership drive since early 2023, following its launch in 2021, although you have worked at the mutual for many years. How did your experience prepare you for the broker launch?

The Cumberland for Intermediaries has come a long way since its formal launch in 2021. I’ve been with the society since 1997 in a variety of roles, but building out the vision and people involved in our intermediary brand has been a key career highlight so far.
