JLM to launch specialist packager

This separate company will be focused on complex prime, property financing solutions and strong broker and client communication.

JLM also said that it will continue to grow its appointed representative and mortgage consultant numbers.

Sebastian Murphy, head of Mortgage Finance at JLM (pictured), said the team was delighted to have Jonathan Burridge on board.

He added: “We look forward to the enthusiasm and wealth of experience he will bring to the role. Jonathan’s appointment shows our commitment and ambition to deliver on our business plan to grow JLM and provide even better services to our existing network members and staff.

“In building a specialist packaging firm we aim to bring to the market place greater competition and transparency for the benefit of both consumers and advisers.”

Burridge said: “My three years at TMBL was hugely rewarding and enjoyable and I leave the business having helped it achieve many mile stones.

“The time had come to take on a new challenge and I look forward to working with Rory, Seb and the network. There are some exciting times ahead.”
