Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter sets up fantasy football league
The Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter (MIMHC) has launched a fantasy football league for the upcoming season to inject fun into the mortgage sector and give people a place to switch off.
Fantasy football puts you in the role of the manager and you select real-life players who score points for your team based on their live match performances.
Jason Berry, group sales director at Crystal Specialist Finance and co-founder of the MIMHC, said: “Having fun distractions away from the daily grind our mortgage sector brings are a necessity. Our recent industry-wide survey indicated brokers continue to work longer hours and are not getting enough sleep.”
The survey found that 58 per cent of brokers work more than 45 hours a week, with 12 per cent saying that they worked more than 60 hours a week.
Berry continued: “The recent actions faced with almost instant product withdrawals have only exacerbated the challenges brokers face.
“Irrespective of whether you are a football fan or not, taking part in this fantasy football guarantees 10 months of friendly banter and the winner will have valuable bragging rights for our industry.”
