The Right Mortgage & Protection Network celebrates 10th Anniversary
17 February 2025
The Right Mortgage & Protection Network has today (17th February 2025) announced a landmark achievement in the business, celebrating its 10th Anniversary since launch in February 2015.
Over the past 10 years, the network has grown to house close to 900 advisers across 402 firms, with 125 of those advisers and 31 firms joining in the last 12 months alone.
The Right Mortgage & Protection Network is a family-run business, founded by husband and wife, Martin and Amanda Wilson, alongside Adam and Tania Stretton. Amy, Victoria and Emma Wilson are all actively involved in working in the network, with Amy and Victoria both recently having been promoted to Head of Insurance and Head of Lending respectively.
During the last decade, a number of new propositions have been added to the network including: The Right Referral Service in 2015; The Right PMI & Healthcare proposition in 2016; The Right Conveyancing in 2017; The Later Life Lending Network in 2018; The Right Loan in 2019; and The Right Retirement Plan in 2019.
In 2024, the network introduced its own Later Life Lending Advice accreditation for advisers and this year it will launch a similar proposition for those active in the buy-to-let space. It is also a member of a number of industry bodies including: AMI, the Equity Release Council, the Association of Medical Insurers and Intermediaries, and the Protection Distributors’ Group.
During the course of the last 10 years, the network has focused on developing its range of training and meeting events for its member firms. In 2017, it held nine face-to-face meetings/events for members, while this had risen to 40 face-to-face events and 46 webinars, with more planned for 2025.
The 10-year anniversary culminated in 2024 being The Right Mortgage & Protection Network’s best year for business activity and volume, with year-on-year increases in mortgages (up 14%), protection (up 22%), general insurance (up 21%), equity release (up 39%) and private medical insurance (up 30%).
The network said much of its recent success was down to a combination of member firm and adviser growth, the opportunity delivered as a result of Consumer Duty with advisers focused on a providing a wider offering to customers, plus the depth of its product panels, particularly its core mortgage and protection panel, which is not limited or loaded.
The network will be celebrating its 10th anniversary at next month’s National Training Event and Gala Dinner for network member firms will once again be held at The Vox, Resorts World at Birmingham on the 27th March 2025 and will include over 90 lender and provider exhibitors plus a range of panel discussions and round table sessions.

Martin Wilson, CEO and Founding Director at The Right Mortgage & Protection Network, commented:
“It’s a remarkable achievement to have reached our 10-year anniversary as a network, particularly given everything that has happened during that period, and of course we give particular thanks to every single person who has played their part, however small, in us reaching this wonderful milestone.
“It has not always been an easy journey, particularly given the barriers to entry when even trying to set-up a network, but everyone involved in the business has worked incredibly hard to have got us this far, to have built such a wonderful culture and work environment, and to be in a place where we can continue to help and support our member firms in all their ambitions and achieved successes.
“We’re also very proud of the consistency we have provided to member firms in terms of cost. For example, we have never increased our monthly adviser fees at all during the last decade, we didn’t increase membership fees when we moved to Acre, and neither have we passed on the significant increases in PI cost we have been handed.
“For us, it’s been about creating an environment in which firms and their advisers can thrive, where they have certainty and consistency in terms of what it’s going to cost them, and where they have access to everything they need, and then some, to ensure they run successful and profitable businesses.
“The last 10 years have passed by in a flash, but we are constantly planning, preparing and looking forward to the next decade, to build on what we have developed and to ensure we continue to have a family-run operation which delivers for all our stakeholders, particularly our members and our provider partners, but of course, also for everyone who works here, without whom we would never have go to this point.
“We’re all looking forward to having a proper celebration at next month’s National Training Event, and continuing to work on the very strong foundations we have all built to climb ever higher.”
