The upgrade in its offerings compliments the range of services that Access already provides, such as the administration services that the firm introduced in October last year.
Access FS’ chief executive Karl Wilkinson said: “We are dedicated to providing our mortgage and protection advisers with a supportive and dynamic work environment. The acquisition of this successful digital marketing agency marks a significant milestone in our commitment to the future successes of our advisers.
“By leveraging the expertise of the Crazy Nerds team, we aim to help our advisers to hone their lead generation skills to increase the number of clients and potential clients they have access to. After starting Access FS as a sole trader and working as a mortgage broker myself, I know exactly how difficult it can be to build a business from the ground up.
“I want to ensure our advisers are equipped to thrive and build their own businesses in an increasingly competitive market.”
