Just Mortgages: ‘A coup for our advisers’
Savage (pictured) said: “Just Mortgages has always been on my radar, so the opportunity to join the team is one I jumped at. I’ve been really impressed with the spirit and progressive approach of the management which is really flexible and receptive to fresh ideas. It’s quite clear the value Just Mortgages offers to its clients through the twists and turns in the market with its fantastic platform.
“It’s an exciting opportunity and one that offers plenty of crossover – allowing me to share my expertise and counsel to help advisers reach their potential and to grow their businesses. With a keen eye for recognising talent, I am really looking forward to talking to brokers who have the drive and ambition to make the leap into the self-employed world. So many have the skill set, they just need someone to support them to be successful. The Just Mortgages model certainly allows for that.”
Carl Parker, national director at Just Mortgages, added: “It’s quite the coup for our advisers in the region and the wider division to have someone with the skills and experience Nick has. Having both worked at Countrywide, I can speak directly of Nick’s abilities to mentor and motivate advisers, helping them to fulfil their potential.
“As we fast approach 500 advisers, it’s critical we have the necessary support structure and expertise around our team to deliver a true launching pad for them and their businesses. I’m really pleased to welcome Nick to the Just Mortgages team at such an exciting time for the business.”
