Peter Brodnicki, chief executive of Mortgage Advice Bureau, commented: “The expansion of our mortgage shops complements our nationwide expansion through leading independent estate agents. Despite growing use of the phone and internet, mortgage consumers have a great need for face to face advice and the MAB shops provide a professional and comfortable environment for this. The Mortgage Shops have a prominent high street presence and are an extension of the highly successful MAB franchise proposition through over 250 estate agency branches across the UK. We expect our strong growth to continue over 2006, to extend the network of estate agents and mortgage shops.”
