Just Mortgages has made a double internal promotion to appoint two of its employees to the role of financial services directors.

Gareth Lowndes (pictured) and Andrew Lake have both been recruited into the position for the north and south respectively. 

Lake has been with the brokerage for eight years having joined as divisional sales director in 2014. In this role, he led a team of 15 mortgage and protection advisers who were working with Spicerhaart Estate Agents in London and Essex. 

Lowndes has been with Just Mortgages for 12 years. He joined as a mortgage adviser in 2010, a position he held for four years. He then moved into the role of divisional sales director where he led a team of mortgage and protection advisers in Cardiff. 

As financial services directors, Lake and Lowndes will have the responsibility of implementing and delivering the business’ plans by leading a team of divisional sales directors and advisers. 

John Philips, head of Just Mortgages, said: “We love promoting from within at Just Mortgages and rewarding great people with great opportunities. Both Gareth and Andrew perfectly embody the ethos of the company with their passion, professionalism, and unwavering focus on supporting our brokers and their clients.  

“We tell all our brokers that their career within Just Mortgages is whatever they chose to make it and appointments like this show we mean what we say. I’m very proud of Andrew and Gareth and so pleased to help them on this latest part of their career journeys.”   

Lowndes said he was “thrilled” to take this next step in his career and proud to have been appointed to director level. 

“I joined Just Mortgages for the chance to further my career with a fast-growing company that prides itself on career development and a family ethos. The main thing that has kept me within JM is the ‘family’ feel to the business and the way you are treated like an individual and rewarded for the work you do and effort you put in,” he added. 

Lake said this was a “hugely exciting time” for the business and he was happy to develop and support brokers. He also said the promotion indicated that Just recognises and rewards its employees. 

Lake added: “We work in a meritocracy. The company rewards people on their performance so you get back what you put in. The ethos of the company, the way we treat people as individuals is key to this business along with the respect we have for each and every person in our business. It’s simply a great place to be.”
