Hurst Independent and Slater Hogg join Mortgage Intelligence

Slater Hogg Mortgage Limited and Hurst Independent have been two of Sesame’s leading Appointed Representatives , both winning numerous awards over the last few years. In 2010 and 2009 Hurst won the prestigious Overall Broker of the Year and Slater Hogg won the same award in 2008. Slater Hogg were voted the Best Scottish Broker for the last three years and also Top UK General Insurance broker in 2010.

Both firms generated a combined £400m of mortgage business in 2010.

The decision to switch Slater Hogg and Hurst Independent from their existing network arrangements to Mortgage Intelligence is a strategic move by Countrywide, with both businesses set to switch at the end of their 12month notice period in March 2012.

Sally Laker, managing director of Mortgage Intelligence said, “We are delighted to have both Slater Hogg and Hurst Independent join our network and I look forward to seeing how the Mortgage Intelligence can add value to their business and their clients”

Nigel Stockton, Financial Services Director said: “With the purchase of our own network it made sense for our owned independent distributors, Slater Hogg and Hurst Independent, to move from Sesame to Mortgage Intelligence.

“I’d like to thank Sesame for being such a valuable partner and we look forward to Hurst and Slater Hogg working with Mortgage Intelligence and Sally to create new opportunities for these companies to build on their successful track record in Financial Services.”
