Breedon said that the team is thrilled to have Jayne Almond on board.
He added: “The specialist mortgage market is booming due to profound socio-demographic shifts, in particular, the rise of the self-employed and multiple income workers and an increase in demand for mortgages for over 55 year olds. Jayne’s appointment signals our desire to grow rapidly to meet this demand.”
