The brokerage recruited 48 new advisers in Q1
Broker firm Just Mortgages has hired 48 new advisers in the first quarter of 2023, further expanding its self-employed division, with ambitions to add 200 by the end of the year.
This latest addition of brokers means the division is nearing the 500 milestone in its number of self-employed advisers, with Just Mortgages on track to maintain similar levels of recruitment throughout the rest of the year. Including those employed, the brokerage has more than 650 advisers across the country.
The firm said the new brokers joined from all over the country, with many making the shift from more corporate organisations and employed roles as they look to realise the potential of managing their own businesses.
Just Mortgages, since launching its self-employed division, has aimed to provide brokers this freedom, all while offering ongoing training, mentoring, and compliance support.
“It’s fantastic to see such strong recruitment levels and sustained demand for self-employed, especially given everything that has happened in the last nine months or so,” said Carl Parker (pictured), national director at Just Mortgages, . “It’s a real testament to the infrastructure and support package we put around all our self-employed advisers to ensure they can make a real success of it.
“2023 has so far been a transformative year for the division, with some really experienced hires and a whole new structure designed to not only better support our brokers, but provide the roadmap to reach 1,000 advisers. Add in talented new adviser blood and its certainly an exciting time to be a part of Just Mortgages.”
These advisers will also be able to learn more about opportunities, such as expanding licence options to allow them to support with business protection, commercial property, equity release, and other later life lending, at Just Mortgages’ upcoming Lender Fayre in Birmingham next month. The event will feature keynotes, 10 product sessions, and dedicated breakout rooms for advisers to learn, connect and improve their business.
“In the current climate, advisers need to be alive to opportunities beyond just mortgage and protection,” Parker said. “Expanding licence options not only allows firms to win more business, but deliver a real competitive advantage in their region. For those with the ambition and motivation, Just Mortgages is able to support, both with in-house expertise and through valuable events such as the Lender Fayre.”
