Cloud Mortgages joins Stonebridge to power next phase of growth
Darren Lycett, managing director of Cloud Mortgages, said: “Revolution is excellent and what really stood out was Stonebridge’s commitment to continually improving it."
Cloud Mortgages has joined Stonebridge, as the firm looks to accelerate its expansion by leveraging enhanced technology and adviser support.
The move sees Cloud transition from PRIMIS, with access to Stonebridge’s proprietary adviser platform, Revolution, cited as a key driver behind the decision.
Darren Lycett, managing director of Cloud Mortgages, said: “Revolution is excellent and what really stood out was Stonebridge’s commitment to continually improving it.
“They actively seek feedback from firms like ours and test enhancements before rolling them out. That level of collaboration is really important to us.”
Cloud Mortgages has scaled rapidly over the past year, growing from two advisers at the start of 2025 to six, with plans to reach a team of 10 by the end of 2026.
Lycett added: “We wanted a network that shares our growth mindset [and] is on an upward trajectory.
“Stonebridge demonstrates a high level of service without high monthly fees or a long notice period.
“That confidence speaks volumes, and we think Stonebridge gives us the best possible platform to expand.
“The ability to support both mortgage and protection-only advisers, including business protection, is another significant advantage for us.”
The firm operates across the Midlands, North West and Scotland, supported by a central team based in Nottingham.
Rob Clifford, chief executive of Stonebridge, said: “Cloud Mortgages is a highly regarded business that has been growing very successfully, so the firm is an exciting addition to our network.
“Darren’s plans for continued expansion make them an excellent fit for us, and we’re going to do everything we can to help the team reach their goals, not least as we continue our multi-million pound annual investment in adviser technology.
“We continue to focus on equipping ambitious firms with the tools, regulatory support, and collaborative business partnership they need to succeed.”
