The company has also recruited 4 extra staff to its Secured Loans and Mortgages departments, taking the size of the Trustguard workforce to more than 40.
Sian said, “We are taking on staff at a time when some of our competitors are finding business a lot tougher. Meanwhile, the extra lenders we have taken on have increased our ability to source better products and give a better choice to intermediaries.
