They are tasked with supporting brokers in their assigned regions
Broker firm Just Mortgages has appointed five new regional directors to support the growth of its self-employed division.
Mark Ferneyhough and Jason Whiteley have been appointed to support brokers in the north, Ben Peart and Jon Taylor will cover the south, while Preeti Ferrier will work with brokers in the Midlands.
All five appointments bring a wealth of experience to the posts, having been promoted from either area or development director roles within Just Mortgages. Each is responsible for up to four area directors or sales managers and a further 15 mortgage and protection advisers.
Just Mortgages said the move would provide the necessary scope for expansion, enabling the self-employed division to grow to more than 1,000 advisers without further structural changes.
The brokerage has seen rapid expansion in recent years, and the new appointments support the growing numbers in the self-employed team, which is set to reach 500 advisers this year. The line-up is set to expand too with plans for a further regional director for the Midlands later in 2023.
Carl Parker (pictured), national director of Just Mortgages, said the move highlighted the wealth of talent found across the business.
“One of our core principles has always been to hire great people and provide them the tools, support, and opportunities to develop and reach their full potential,” Parker stated. “This experienced director line-up certainly exemplifies this, and is a clear statement of intent of our ambitious growth plans for the division.
“This team, along with our area directors will be an invaluable resource for our brokers across the country, providing advice and guidance as well as support for new and existing advisers looking to develop their business. We wish all five well in this next stage of their career with Just Mortgages.”
