This news follows Shawbrook’s decision to digitise its short-term loan application process, which Kris Corns, operations director for Crystal Specialist Finance — a Shawbrook-accredited broker — described as a “great benefit” to the specialist finance distributor.

Peter Turner, senior development manager for Shawbrook Commercial Mortgages, added: “Over the last few years, Wayne and the team at DMI Finance have successfully built a close and productive relationship with the internal teams at Shawbrook.

“They continually provide expertise and brilliant customer service … which is why they have been a valued member of our broker partner panel for some time.”
