Jan Keenan, regional new business manager for the North, will head the Glasgow-based team, which was hand-picked for its expertise and knowledge of processes in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The team will process all applications through to offer, giving intermediaries confidence that a dedicated and experienced team will handle mortgage applications.
Keenan said: “Advantage brokers like the personal touch, and an office in Scotland will help provide brokers here and in Northern Ireland with a closer point of contact. We look forward to strengthening our good relationships with brokers in these regions.”
Keith Dearling, managing director of Advantage, said: “We have always had a good relationship with intermediaries in Scotland and Northern Ireland and it’s great to see the business expanding to provide greater support for them on the ground. Our specialist team is well versed in the unique processes of these regions and this is a natural advantage in ensuring a more efficient application procedure.”
