The broker said that the appointments “provide the necessary scope for expansion” and allow the self-employed division to expand to over 1,000 advisers.

Just Mortgages noted that it also planned to hire a further regional director for the Midlands later this year.
Just Mortgages: ‘A clear statement of intent’
Carl Parker, national director of Just Mortgages said the appointment showed the “continued success of the self-employed division” and the talent found across the business.
He added: “One of our core principles has always been to hire great people and provide them the tools, support and opportunities to develop and reach their full potential. This experienced director line-up certainly exemplifies this and is a clear statement of intent of our ambitious growth plans for the division.
“This team, along with our area directors will be an invaluable resource for our brokers across the country, providing advice and guidance as well as support for new and existing advisers looking to develop their business. We wish all five well in this next stage of their career with Just Mortgages.”
